This patch fixes the panic for me.
iwpriv wlan0 getpromisc and setpromisc don't work, and I don't know why,
but at least it doesn't panic any more.
@matt-price, you could build yourself an Ubuntu kernel with the attached
patch applied and see if it fixes the problem for you. To build such a
kernel, for Lucid:
git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git
cd ubuntu-lucid
patch -p1 < linux-ischool-classmate/rtl8192se_wx.panic.lp585938.patch
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3 fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd \
--append-to-version=-cw-lp585938-1 \
kernel-image kernel-headers kernel-debug
cd ..
dpkg -i linux-image*
You can find more information here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile/
Regarding affected versions, a quick check of the maverick and natty
kernel git trees shows that they appear to be vulnerable. Oneiric and
Precise are not.
** Patch added: "Patch for the rtl8192se wireless driver to fix kernel panics
on "iwpriv -a""
