I have removed the atheros modules from my system and get no more oops during bootup.
Sound is still missing...
The mixers do work and I can change all the usual settings in those applications, but there is nothing to be heared, independent of the mixer settings I choose.
Maybe that hardware mixer of the thinkpads that is usually set with the volume up/down buttons is muted? That mixer is not one of the "normal" ones and can not get set in software AFAIK.
Using the volume up/down buttons changes the master volume on feisty. Maybe it is leaving the hardware mixer alone now? This works with older ubuntu releases (and feisty with kernels < 2.6.20-1).
