Have you reported your behaviour in a bug report? I've found it on Fedora 16 as well (different hardware: iwl3945 & hp_wmi) so I'd point to your bug just to put it in context.

going on. For some reason, it was also loading the acer_wmi module, a
driver for a different type of wireless chip, and this was screwing
things up. As soon as I did "modprobe -r acer_wmi", then everything
worked. I just needed to blacklist this module
in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, and now the Atheros chip is working
even after a reboot.
