Hi,

I'm currently building a 2.6.29-rc5 with CONFIG_MAC80211 enabled
to test it.

Could you please enable the CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP option in your kernel?
It's on Kernel Hacking > Detect Soft Lockups.
With some chances you will have a relevant stacktrace of the lockup, in case
I couldn't reproduce it.
