    Thanks for responding. Vbox may be guilty of a lot of things, but this is not
    one of them.

    Just before I received your reply, I found the problem. The PCI driver in
    rtlwifi sets a flag to indicate that interrupts have been enabled, and uses that
    flag to tell if the cleanup needs to disable them. When I moved the code that
    starts mac80211, I also moved the statement that sets the flag. As a result, the
    driver was exiting with interrupts still enabled, and the BUG resulted from
    that. I can now unload the driver when firmware is not available.
