well, this particular WARN_ON can probably be fixed by reverting the following patch:
"p54: call p54_wake_free_queues on every p54_free_skb and p54_rx_frame_sent"

however, based on Max commit description this patch is necessary for p54spi to
work properly. So, I'm not going to touch it...

The best thing he can do now is to use compat-wireless.
(Or since he uses a -rc kernel anyway, why not wireless-testing?)
wireless-testing/cw does not only have a newer driver,
but also mac80211 improvements for power-saving clients.
