Removing/reinstalling the card also reset the usb hub driver, I think,
and does more than unloading the driver. I don't have that ability
(rtl8187 built-in), but suspend/resume on my system also works around
the 'can't load 2nd time' problem.

Anyway, the 'can't load compat-wireless 2nd time' problem seems to
have gone away - I just loaded it a 2nd time testing the rkfill patch.
