Bug Description
SRU Justification:
Impact: Trying to turn of wireless via the Fn+F2 hotkey combination results in a kernel panic when the hardware vanishes from under the driver.
Fix: Test for NULL pointer (patch from 2.6.31.5)
---
When I disable the wifi using Fn+F2, the system hangs with a kernel panic instead of disabling wifi.
I'll try to catch the panic message properly and attach it here (but the machine doesn't have a serial port, so it might take some hacking).
