The problem was reproduced even in the mainline kernel. Attached is the dmesg 
output.
I faced another issue with running in the RC kernel. After the wifi crash and 
reboot cycle, I could never connect to wifi and my wireless card was not 
detected even after manually loading the drivers. The only way I could resolve 
this issue was to boot into windows and then boot into linux again (but I am 
not sure if it's the driver issue or my hardware). Is it possible that the 
faulty drivers modify some persistent state variables in the hardware which was 
causing this issue?

Thanks and regards,
Sharath
