Comment(by andy):

 Status of this is that Atheros stack cannot handle the device disappearing
 and reappearing with power on and off.  They recommend that we stick WLAN
 stuff in modules, and have a scripts to rmmod the modules, turn off power;
 and turn on power then modprobe the modules.

 Currently we have the Atheros SDIO stuff built-in to the kernel.
