Johannes,
This particular oops is seen for at76c50x-usb on a PPC, but I have seen a
similar oops for b43legacy, and i thought there was one earlier in the wireless
ML, but I could not find it just now.
This particular oops does not always occur. Usually, the machine just freezes.
The dmesg dump is:

===================================================
My PPC instruction decoding skills are poor, but I think the crash is happening
at offset 1660. In addition, the routine is about to exit.
Thanks,
Larry
