I did have ps-fix patch running, but removed it in the kernel due to not 
being able to connect once I wakeup from suspend. anyway I have enable 
debugging for the wireless(hopefully) and was able to trigger this after 
a fresh build of the kernel last night(git clean -fx and all)

the message I have in dmesg is:
