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?
