I think we call rs_ops->free_sta without rs_ops->alloc_sta, otherwise
I don't know how it could be NULL in iwl3945_rs_free_sta (excluding memory
corruption or bug in timer internals).
I suspect this could be a regression introduced by commit:

would be hard currently. Does it workaround problem for you?

I'm not able to recreate, but I'm not using your config as my system
user-space has problem to startup with it :-(
