Hmmm... bugzilla says:

* Exact steps to reproduce
* Reproducability of bug (e.g. intermittent or 100% reproducable)
* Did this problem not exist in previous version of the driver?
* kernel version
* AP brand/model
* dmesg output at debug level 0x43fff
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
it would be nice to specify how to do this. It is
insmod parameter, right?

* Type of security (if any) you are using (e.g. WEP64, WEP128, WPA, WPA2, 802.1x, etc)
* Version of firmware
* Version of the ieee80211 module
* Proximity to the AP

* Before reporting any firmware errors, please be sure to read Ben
Cahill's mailing list post on how to most effectively report such
bugs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
unfortunately the link here does not work.

BTW, why not use kernel.org bugzilla? Having to create another account
is nasty...
