Drivers that load firmware from their probe routine have problems with the
latest versions of udev as they get timeouts while waiting for user
space to start. The problem is fixed by using request_firmware_nowait()
and delaying the start of mac80211 until the firmware is loaded.
To prevent the possibility of the driver being unloaded while the firmware
loading callback is still active, a completion queue entry is used.

This version has not been tested to see if it works with the new udev while
suspending/resuming. My computer fails to suspend for other reasons.
