so as a workaround this should fix the kernel-panics (thank you to
Stanislaw from LKML)

"sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off"

with that you are disabling the powermanagement of wifi-card

After that "iwconfig" should show that the powermanagement is disabled.


michael@eeebuntu:~$ iwconfig 
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:off/any  
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:on
          
You can reenable power-management with "sudo iwconfig wlan0 power on"

We dont need to built a new kernel to test that, so everyone should be
able to do some testings.

To fix the issue with the power-management a patch already exist and
should be built into the (ubuntu)kernel when the workaround (mentioned
above) will work
