Thanks for the reply.

Reading the thread I see that this seems to be an actual bug and there are 
some ideas how to fix this, but it needs someone to actually test the fixes.

I hit the reported oops whenever one of my laptops at home connects
to my home router access-point.

So I can reproduce this at will; and given that I hit the oops I assume
that my home network also actually uses the keys setup by the given path,
so I should also be able to test that a fix does not break the wifi
connection by misconfiguring the keys.

So I'm hereby volunteering to test a fix on my setup.

Regards,

Hans
