Confirm the removal of that module make the responses of QtMoko for
suspend much quicker on my phone.
Within my investigation I recognized the qpe process was hanging in
disk-sleep state.
If that module is included in newer version of Linux kernel it would be
probably helpful to look for the changes made.

Do we miss only WiFi functionality once the module is removed?
