Isn't it possible to do attaching of the board between ieee80211_alloc_hw and ieee80211_register_hw calls? You don't need to call ieee80211_update_hw then. Anyway, the ieee80211_update_hw function is here for a reason (solving issues with a firmware primarily, but not exclusively), so use it if it is easier for you.
