Subject: ath9k panic (ath_tx_rc_status)

Hi,

after the latest pull from wireless-testing
(2.6.31-rc4-wl-29133-g1addf37) I always get a kernel panic with the
ath9k driver. The panic happens as soon as I start wpa_supplicant
(with -Dnl80211) or NetworkManager. I think that the kernel spits out
some warnings (lockdep?) before crashing, but I haven't been able to
capture them.
This is a regression since my previous pull (2.6.31-rc3-wl... + something).

Regards,
Davide
