Ben, I think this bug is more than the iwlwifi driver. While this kernel message is from the 2.6.33 kernel, I think the bug is the same one.

All these messages (this one and the previous one with iwlwifi) get triggered only when there is heavy I/O activity. I don't think this bug is related to iwlwifi. What do you think ?
