How can I restart crashed driver?

Asked by slicks

I use Ubuntu Lucid on my Thinkpad Edge. Wireless hardware doesn't work properly with my kernel and as the result driver crashes and i can't connect to network until I reboot my laptop. Can I somehow restart Rtl819xSE driver without reloading my laptop after crashing?

I have already submitted bug here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/796007 and hope Ubuntu team could fix it in nearest future.
