So this looks like the ethernet driver b44 instead of ath5k, I think.

Could be, but!

I can trigger it when doing this kind of SSH traffic:

PC >--100Mbit--> b44 (Asus WL-500gP) ath5k >--wireless--> laptop


When I transfer over wired ethernet only through this device, everything works properly, no page allocation failures, no warnings, panics.

...but this is higher up the stack.  skb_gso_segment is about a year old
so it would be odd if there were a bug here.  Can you do the following?

objdump -S net/core/dev.o, then find the address for skb_gso_segment, it should look something like this (your numbers and disassembly will
differ):

00004190 <skb_gso_segment>:
 *
 *      It may return NULL if the skb requires no segmentation.  This is
 *      only possible when GSO is used for verifying header integrity.
 */

Hmm, I get:

00000000 <skb_gso_segment>

So I better leave the files here:

http://www1.wpkg.org/skb_gso_segment/

Let me know if you need anything else.
