> By executing 'cat /proc/net/wireless' I get the same bug:

I haven't tested your exact but, but I've the following in my 
mind, back from about 1 year ago when I did lots of libertas and 
libertas_cs work:

Access wireless stats made the libertas driver (in wext.c) issue 
a command towards the firmware in the hardware. I think it was 
the command to get the current SNR/RSSI/whatever.

The libertas command-response-cycle does sleep, so you could 
trigger a bug. I once had a patch (and I think I posted that 
patch). The patch lied, by providing the last SNR/RSSI/whatever, 
and issueing a "get SNR/RSSI/whatever" in the background, just 
storing the result. So just one "cat /proc/net/wireless" returns 
bogus, but a continues command returns "valid" info, e.g. when 
doing "watch iwconfig eth1".
