Is the staging driver update from lkml relevent here:

2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Darren Salt <[email protected]>

commit 0af49167b1e5ba154e90d2c454bf4624ee47df80 upstream.

This fixes a panic which is triggered when the hardware "disappears" from
beneath the driver, i.e. when wireless is toggled off via Fn-F2 on various
EeePC models.
