There is no point in sending this again until you've replied to my
previous review comments.. Copied here from the September 5th email:

As noted previously, this is not the correct way to address this.
Furthermore, removing and re-adding cfg80211 works fine for me. Have you
tested this with the following "nl80211: Resubscribe to nl80211 events
on global nl_event socket" commit included?
