Subject: atmel-wlan-driver in 2.6.20-rt5

hi to the list!

i have problems getting the at76c503a-driver running on linux-2.6.20-rt5.

since i did not subscribed to the list, please add my email address  as 
CC for all postings which are related to this one, so that i receive it.

the problem is this: i just build the 2.6.20 kernel and applied the 
realtime patch from ingo molnar:


http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/older/

before i was using 2.6.18 also patched with the rt-patch and everything 
was running fine.
with the 2.6.20 i am able to build the atmel-driver but it works very 
unstable.
the real problem is that when the atmel driver crashes, i am not able to 
`rmmod` and than doing modprobe again, when i type `rmmod at76_usb` in 
the console, just nothing happens.
lately  than, when i try  to stop the network protocol  which is started 
with:


#!/bin/sh
    iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc essid olsr.freifunk.net channel 10
    ifconfig wlan0 104.130.30.9
    ifconfig wlan0 up
    olsrd


i don´t get the right response in the console, but the cursor moves down 
in a very fast speed.
than i have to make a hard-reset.

since i already talked to the people from debian and the developer from 
berlios, i guess that there is some kernel-thing going up, because if 
the driver is crashing, i  think that i should be able to `rmmod´ but it 
looks like the driver crash takes the hole kernel into an crash too.

here is the output of dmesg, well the last part which appears when the 
driver crashes:
