 I finally got around to testing it. I'm mostly using an Atheros
 card, nowadays. Though I have to hotswap it to get past the BIOS.
 
 Your patch fixes all the reliably reproducible panics.
 
 I can scan for wireless networks and it yields the available networks.
 I can connect to a network and use it. There is no package loss,
 I'm currently stress-testing the connection, and it appears to be
 reliable.
 
 Now the downside. If I turn the network down and bring it up again
 it turns blind. An "ifconfig wlan0 list scan" will yield nothing
 and I cannot connect to a network. So I can use it only once.
 
 Unloading the module in between does not help either, so I have
 to reboot if I want to use it again.
 
 What kind of data are you interested in? Dmesg? Anything else?
 
 Regards
