Could have been a problem in net core, perhaps.

Below is a ppp fix from 2.6.31, but it seems unlikely to fix your problem.

It would help if we could see that trace, please.  A digital photo
would suit.

    NET: Fix locking issues in PPP, 6pack, mkiss and strip line disciplines.
    
    Guido Trentalancia reports:
    
    I am trying to use the kiss driver in the Linux kernel that is being
    shipped with Fedora 10 but unfortunately I get the following oops:
    
    mkiss: AX.25 Multikiss, Hans Albas PE1AYX
    mkiss: ax0: crc mode is auto.
    ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): ax0: link becomes ready

    The issue was, that the locking code in mkiss was assuming it was only
    ever being called in process or bh context.  Fixed by converting the
    involved locking code to use irq-safe locks.
    
    Review of other networking line disciplines shows that 6pack, both sync
    and async PPP and STRIP have similar issues.  The ppp_async one is the
    most interesting one as it sorts out half of the issue as far back as
    2004 in commit http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=2996d8deaeddd01820691a872550dc0cfba0c37d
