Is there no event that you can use to determine when user-space is available? In the original udev discussion it was suggested to use IFF_UP, but I did not find anyone saying what the equivalent mac80211 callback should be. Also this issue can occur when the firmware is only available on the real root, but the ramdisk contains the b43 module. Gr.
