The bug should only appear on a system with a recent Intel wireless card installed (Intel 3945 or 4965), so users with a Realtek 8187 as their only card shouldn't be affected.

As a workaround, you can try these commands:

sudo rmmod $(lsmod | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | grep iwl)
sudo modprobe rtl8187

they will unload the Intel wireless driver (and its uncompatible mac80211 stack) and load the driver for your Realtek card, which should work fine.
