You may want to look at using netconsole instead if you're goal is
just to get some oops off the box.

CONFIG_NETCONSOLE=m

mcgrof@tux ~/bin $ cat netconsole
#!/bin/bash
sudo dmesg -n 8
sudo ip addr add 192.168.4.2/24 dev eth4
sudo modprobe netconsole
netconsole="@192.168.4.2/eth4,@192.168.4.3/00:1e:37:82:48:5a"

I'd run that script on the dev box, and on 192.168.4.3 just do `nc -l
-p 6666 | tee log`. To test just modprobe and rmmod ath9k.

What was the oops complaint? NULL pointer dereference? If sdata got
screwed up that would be pretty serious, the only way that could
happen is if somehow it managed to get removed prior to the
ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session() or if there is some sort of memory
corruption., What steps do you follow to reproduce?
