Herton, Technically you are correct; however, I did extensive testing of 2.6.31 and _NEVER_ got the failure. The sequencing is a bug waiting to happen, but something in the post 2.6.31 merge actually enabled the bug to happen. I tried bisection to determine which change actully did that, but was not successful. My feeling is that stable can be left alone. Of course, if bug reports of kernel panics on unload of rtl8187 start occurring, we will know how to fix it.
