Hello!
Original bug report to ubuntu bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/339496 This is regression from 2 weeks
old driver that worked relatively stable. Driver only sometimes went
"mad" and required cold reboot because card couldn't be reseted. That
version was also compiled by me.
I have now tested the latest compat-wireless-2009-03-10
(v2.6.29-rc7-17107-g075d535) with same 2.6.28 kernel and I still gt
same null point reference.

Good pointer there. I had only remove the meta package so ubuntu
version of package was still loading. I will see if I can found any
bugs from the latest version :) It at least now works.

lbm_cw_mac80211 is some ubuntu special sauce, I think (I guess lbm =3D=3D
linux-backport-modules)? Does this happen with wireless-testing or any
kernel.org tree?
