I now run a clean 2.6.26-rc5


I also tried to bisect between 2.6.25 and 2.6.26-rc1 and ended up with:

[root@5720g linux-2.6]# git bisect good
8318d78a44d49ac1edf2bdec7299de3617c4232e is first bad commit

     cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion



Any more I can provide to help finding the bug ?
