Bug#459249: firmware-iwlwifi: Kernel Panic when using aireplay-ng

["Gregory Colpart (evolix)" <reg@evolix.fr>]

Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Version: 0.9
Severity: important

Hi,

I use with success iwlwifi with my 3945 wireless card for WPA
connections or for dumping Wi-Fi data with airodump-ng. But when
I launch aireplay-ng program (for example aireplay-ng -1 0 -e
<essid> wlan0), I have a Kernel Panic and I need reboot to have
an usable machine. You can see my kern.log here[*] and have trace
for KP at "Jan  3 19:57:52" or at "Jan  3 20:09:49".

Note: this is perhaps a bug with kernel, then feel free to reassign it
to linux-2.6 (you are probably more competent than me to say that).
