As I understand them, both approaches are essentially the same, and 
unfortunately both do *not* work reliably for me.  Unless you also add this 
to the recipe:

   up sleep 1 || /sbin/iwpriv wlan0 reset 2 || true

This could certainly just be a quirk of the card (Intel 2011B PCI), but 
using pre-up statements work for me.
