Thanks for the dump. I don't think the oops was due to the wireless being 
switched off. It looks as if you do not have the CRDA package installed, thus 
the regulatory domain was not setup correctly. That is a condition I realize 
that I have not tested. As soon as I have a fix, I'll let you know. BTW, if my 
analysis is correct, this bug has been around since 2.6.37 when rtl8192ce was 
merged.
