Subject: rc9 + orinoco WPA patchset: BUG: scheduling while atomic loading firmware with PCMCIA adapter

2.6.27-rc9 + patches to enable WPA from wireless-testing (picked manually):

+ orinoco-send-association-event
+ orinoco-process-bulk-of-receiv
+ orinoco-add-mic-on-tx-and-chec
+ orinoco-fix-compile-warnings

Firmware taken from orinoco-devel list and placed in /lib/firmware:

4bc30fed682d83ce0bbeb32af6d218a3  /lib/firmware/agere_sta_fw.bin

After loading orinoco and "inserting" adapter I get either BUG with
endless loop (attached) or kernel panic on NULL pointer dereference
(was not able capture). Adapter works fine with wlags49 driver.

{pts/1}% pccardctl ident
Socket 0:
  product info: "TOSHIBA", "Wireless LAN Card", "Version 01.01", ""
  manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
  function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
  no product info available
Socket 2:
  no product info available

Any idea? Anything else in wireless-testing that is missing in vanilla?
