Ok, I checked out
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-2.6.git
and it definitely looks better in there. This patch shouldn't be
necessary for that. 

Do you plan on submitting this for 2.6.36 or .37?

I think my patch should fix the instance reported in the bug in a less
invasive manner. 
Only remaining question is why it did only show up now. But that's
probably due to the workqueue changes.

Flo
