Hardware is: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Atheros AR5416 MAC/BB Rev:2 AR5133 RF Rev:81 Kernel:Linux 2.6.32.7 #2 PREEMPT Thu Feb 4 14:19:02 PST 2010 i686 GNU/Linux driver is supplied with kernel. I used to think it had to do with returning from suspend to ram. Because on return it will never initiate a scan for new AP's. But it hung the other day wen the machine was left running and moved to a new location, scan worked like it should when the lease expired and froze the machine. The panic can be caused by starting wpa_gui and requesting a scan. Sometimes it works, some it crashes the machine. I'll see if I can find a backtrace, or make one. Thanks, mark
