To summarise this for me: Keeping the module loaded and just request/release it via FSO (I have a little GUI for this) should be pretty safe? I am currently using it this way and wpa_supplicant's roaming capabilities with some minor modifications to the network scripts and it's quite reliable - I just have to avoid suspend though. FYI: the roaming is the same setup as on Debian on my notebook - just on my SHR-U Freerunner.
