There's breakage upstream in wireless-land for all mac80211-based drivers (b43, b43-legacy, iwl3945, iwl4965, ath5k, rt2x00, etc) while fallout from Dave Miller's multiqueue patches is fixed up. mac80211 was incorrectly using the skb->cb field that the multiqueue patches are now also using, and that conflict is causing a lot of random weirdness.
