Indeed, it's very unlikely.

I suspect the compat_firmware_class.c code, which is specific to
compat-wireless. The way do debug it is to find out what's wrong in
get_device_parent and work from there.

I suggest trying the latest compat-wireless.

I think it might be possible to reproduce the problem on the same
kernel version (2.6.31.12) on a PC.
