Seems like you performed the testing without the patch that we used to
address the hang issue from the beginning of this thread. Please see
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=127290931304496&w=2 - that thread
also explains why the patch is not in 2.6.34.

I think it is time to move this discussion to a bug report so that it
can be tracked better. Please open a new bug at
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/
