With compat-wireless-stable 2.6.31, you essentially have the wireless
drivers of 2.6.32, which does have the problem. I could not make the
problem happen with vanilla 2.6.31, which is why I do not think we
need to send the fix to 2.6.31.Y. Of course, your system is much more
sensitive than mine. If you get the kernel panic with 2.6.31, then we
will need to reconsider. As openSUSE 11.2 will be out in a little over
a week using the 2.6.31 kernel, the problem may show up there.
