kernel oops at random when running wireless. Machine locks up with flashing caps-lock. No messages in /var/log. Kernel oops collected by serial console.

No known trigger other than running wireless, but the oops clearly identifies the line in the iwlwifi sources where it happens and the oops can be avoided by running a wired network connection.

This appears to be the same problem reported against hardy linux-backports-modules in bug 244429 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.24/+bug/244429) starting in July, which has never been triaged or responded to by any developer.
