Hello,

I just found the following in my dmesg output:

I do not really know what I did, when the warning was triggered but
maybe the warning will be of interest nevertheless. I am using 3.6-rc3 +
wireless-testing/master as of yesterday (August 26th 2012). If
you need more information, please feel free to ask; if you have some
hints, on how to find what caused the problem, please tell me.

With best regards,
Julian Wollrath

This is a known issue for some time and I am currently looking into 
this. The warning had several causes and some have been fixed already. 
However, it may still occur. So it is debug in progress and I hope to 
send out a patch soon (fingers crossed).
