In the latest wireless-testing kernel, I get a panic when I try to
connect to a network or inject a packet in monitor mode using b43
(stack obtained using kdump and crash):

No out-of-tree patches applied on b43. (I used to have a patch
applied, but I removed it to test reproducibility of this crash.)
Any ideas why this happens?
Thanks,
