Below is a better version of the trace Miles sent me privately, but I
have no idea what would be causing it. I don't think it's related to
wireless.
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.25-rc8-mm1 #15
-------------------------------------------------------
iw/9417 is trying to acquire lock:
(genl_mutex){--..}, at: [ctrl_dumpfamily+0x37/0xda] ctrl_dumpfamily+0x37/0xda
but task is already holding lock:
(nlk->cb_mutex){--..}, at: [netlink_dump+0x39/0x22e] netlink_dump+0x39/0x22e
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
