OK, so I have tried to boot with pcie_aspm=off and the wireless
resurrect. The I found out that I booted into 3.2 rather than 3.2-rc6 so
I retested with the original kernel and guess what, yes it reported the
same problem as before (with or without parameter).
So I have tried to retest with few kernels (3.2.0-rc5,
3.2.0-rc6-00005-ga36bfdd, 3.2.0-rc7-00083-g115e8e7 and 3.2.0) that I
still had on my machine and 3.2.0-rc6-00005-ga36bfdd seems to be the
only affected one.
There doesn't seem to be any obvious difference wrt. the driver in the
logs (attached).

Looking in the history it seems that 497f16f2 [pci: Fix hotplug of
Express Module with pci bridges] might be related. It fixes an issue
introduced by bbef98ab [PCI: defer enablement of SRIOV BARS] which is a
part of my 3.2.0-rc6-00005-ga36bfdd problematic version. But I do not
understand details of the patch so I cannot tell that for 100%.
Yinghai Lu, is it possible that I the problem I have seen is somehow
related? For reference the thread started at

Thanks
