I removed the ath driver, see bug

I moved ohci1394.ko + ieee1394.ko file manually to avoid automatic 
loading. then i used insmod on those files and forgot to insmod ieee1394 
first. That's all. This is not related to the bug.

No. (See explanation above).

No. I couldn't reproduce this warning, yet.

Yes.

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10080.

Seems so.
