Good news is Linus' rc8 tag *has the same issue* so the reason why wireless-testing has it is rc8 *does indeed have it*. So Peter, if there is something extra or missing from linux-2.6-allstable head it certainly fixed my issues, will have to try a new respin of it to ensure it wasn't a fluke. Odd thing too though is even my distribution kernel (karmic rc8 generic) works fine. At least now I can safely bisect between rc7 and rc8, or pull the kmemleaks branch and see if that fixed.
