Thanks for the dump. I don't think the oops was due to the wireless being
switched off. It looks as if you do not have the CRDA package installed, thus
the regulatory domain was not setup correctly. That is a condition I realize
that I have not tested. As soon as I have a fix, I'll let you know. BTW, if my
analysis is correct, this bug has been around since 2.6.37 when rtl8192ce was
merged.
