Do I need to do anything to the kernel source before applying the
patches?
You needed a different version of the patch for 2.6.32. Apply the
attached
version. You only need the one patch.

Hello,
I managed to compile the patched kernel. To confirm - the issue of the
kernel panic occuring when Fn-F2 is used to turn off the wireless card
is resolved. Thank you. I'll let you know if I notice any side effects
from the patch.
After you do the Fn-F2 sequence, there should be a stack dump in the output of
the dmesg command. Could you please post that? With it, I should be able to find
what is leading to the original error. It does not happen on my system.

Okay, I used dmesg | tail to print the last 10 lines of dmesg. Hopefully
this is what you were asking for:
