I have just tried the 2.6.11.4 kernel and the initialisation problem is fixed
there as well:

May  9 16:39:58 koetsu kernel: Socket status: 30000006

But for some reason plugging and unplugging a card causes my builtin wireless card,
using the hostap_pci module, to disassociate from the network:

I'll keep trying.
