So, i was able to get an strace by running powertop inside a screen  
session on a remote machine.  I've attached the log but the crash  
seems to be triggered by iwpriv -a; i can verify that, by manually  
running that command as root, which gives me the same kernel panic.   
here's the output:

lo no private ioctls.
eth0 no private ioctls.
wlan0 Available read-only private ioctl :
wlan0 firm_ver:63
Kernel Panic [etc...]

anyway,
(1) thanks for the help, (2) if someone on the listh appens to know  
how the heck this could cause a kernel panic, i'd be very grateful to  
hear your advice.  Thanks much,

Matt
