Francesco,

This bug is the same as the one I reported for both my 4311 and my
4318. When the TX status interrupt is entered for a particular cookie,
the skb is freed, and the buffer pointer is replaced with a NULL. The
kernel panic reported here is the result of detecting a NULL value for
that buffer pointer. I think the conclusion is that the firmware is
calling the interrupt routine with a cookie that was previously
reported. Why? I don't know. Even with the source to look at, firmware
is a big mystery.
