HP dv9894ca kernel panic in weak wifi signal areas

Bug Description

-System and kernel info should already be attached by the process, but if you need anything else, post it up (and how to get it) and I'll be glad to include it.
-Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03)

Additional info:
-Only happens in weak signal areas. As long as the signal's relatively strong, there's no danger of panics.
-The network in question is a Cisco Clean Access network, but that may or may not be relevant as it's the only network that I connect to that may have weak signal (depending on the area)
-I use the Konqueror for authentication and Firefox for regular browsing

Can you also confirm this issue exists with the most recent Karmic Koala 9.10 Alpha release? ISO CD images are available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/ . If the issue remains with Karmic it would be great to then also test the latest upstream mainline kernel available. This will allow additional upstream developers to examine this issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Thanks in advance.

Hi Jim,
Unfortunately I don't have access to the facility where I was getting
those kernel panics and I couldn't install an unstable OS on a machine
that I use for work (the laptop). If I do get a chance to re-test, I'll
post up on the bug page.

Cheers,
Ilija
