The rest of the call trace is available if needed. The crash occurred when ieee80211_key_free was
trying to unlock the mutex key_idx. I added printk's to dump the pointer to sdata at the point where that mutex is initialized and where the key is freed. The mutex that errs was inited.

Ho humm, yes, I'm dumb, patch below but I'll fold it into my key patch.
Sorry about that, classic use-after-free condition here.

The patch fixed the crash. The reason for the "lost AP" is that WPA isn't working for b43legacy, with or without your patches. It used to work and I have no idea why it fails now.

Thanks,

Larry
