The driver issues "scheduling while atomic" messages and will freeze the
system. These problems are due to attempting to dynamically load library
encryption routines from a tasklet. The fixes are relatively simple. All
that is needed is to replace indirect calls of the try_then_request_module()
macro with a direct call to lib80211_get_crypto_ops(), which forces a load
of the lib80211 module when the wifi driver is loaded.
There will be a similar patch for TKIP encryption; however, the faulty
patch has already been reverted, thus a fix to use the lib80211 routine
directly will be more intrusive. My original attempt failed, thus I am
delaying that fix.
