Bug Description
I got a kernel panic when using dhclient on a certain wifi network.
I use the amd64 version of Gutsy with an Atheros AR5005G wifi card.
The router (and dhcp server) on the network causing the kernel panic seems to be called "Broadband Router" in its configuration file.
For now I don't know wether it is due to the madwifi driver not handling correctly some maybe not conventional ommands the router may sends or maybe dhclient or I don't know what.
When running the dhclient in the first terminal, it gives me alot of kernel messages, I'll paste them here when I'll get acces to my linux logs and to an internet connexion (for now I'm stucked under windows)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information.
Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.
For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at [WWW] http:// wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelTeamB ugPolicies. Thanks in advance!
