1stly, looks like some synchronisation is indeed needed there - just=20
removing those spin_locks I had a hard lockup of the system on zd1211=20
removal. Well, theoretically it is not 100% that my modification was the=20
culprit, but only theoretically, I guess. Will think a bit more about it -=
=20
but not too long, the driver is too big...

No modifications in the driver are needed. Just put something like this=20
into your /etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo eth0 wlan0

mapping hotplug
=09script grep
=09map wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
=09wireless_essid <ESSID>
=09wireless_mode manage
=09...
