I'm sorry, but I managed to "fix" the problem without having a way to
recreate it again.  I emptied /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
and removed /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0, and the problem
is gone, but I didn't preserve the original files, and I cannot make the
crash happen again.

Also, it turns out that pciutils failed to upgrade to the Fedora 11
version, and "lspci -v" was crashing.  After upgrading pciutils the BUG
was gone, but downgrading it didn't make it reappear :-(

I tried what you said, and that's what I get:

# iw event
phy #0: regulatory domain change: set to US by a driver request on phy0
phy #1: regulatory domain change: set to US by a driver request on phy1

I think it's a good idea.  Stupid userspace shouldn't cause kernel bugs.
