I'm running 9.10 (Karmic 32-bit, kernel 2.6.31-20-generic-pae). My experience of this problem is that removing and reloading the STA module (wl) reliable yields kernel panics within 10 s - 5 minutes. This appears only to happen if the driver has been used (i.e., I've connected to a network) prior to removing the module. Both the 5.10.91.9 version of the module (from jockey) and the 5.60.xxx module available on the broadcom website have this problem. It's quite annoying because of another bug, where if I suspend at home, I can't resume and then connect to another network somewhere else without reloading the module / rebooting.
