I've successfully tested this patch on its own and with Ben Hutching's
patch ("Bug#656813: [PATCH 1/2] ipw2200: Fix order of
device registration", Message-ID: <1327201775.8004.83.camel@deadeye>)
applied on top, it's working fine in both cases. The "cfg80211: failed
to add phy80211 symlink to netdev!" warning disappears after applying
both patches to kernel 3.3.2.
Feel free to add a tested-by tag, if you like:
