What user visible bug are you fixing here?

I think we should be more proactive than reactive. For example, we
should stop netdev queues to make sure that there are no data packets
transmitted. And we should do the same for ath6kl_control_tx() callers,
I guess that means cfg80211 ops?
But we could add warnings here to make sure that we are not transmitting
any packets in a wrong state.
