tried reproducing (using the old w-t/pending pull) on different machine,
but no oops or crash there...
(similar connectivity issues though, such as connecting only works
exactly once after starting hostapd, to reconnect i have to restart
hostapd)

Upgraded to current wireless-testing/pending on the problematic box
and almost immediately got [1]. No slab corruption this time (at least
not yet). Will switch to GFP_ATOMIC and retry w/ the new fw.
