I think the problem lies in HAL. When I keep the device activated it
works fine, but if I use my hotkey (Fn+F2) the device refuses to reload,
dmesg reports that the device didn't respond properly and couldn't be
loaded.

I feel that I put this bug in the wrong place, I'll bring it up with
madwifi when I get the chance, I'm sorry for wasting your time.
