Congratulations to your decision ;)

I'm not sure what's happening here. Either one of the following assertions is failing:
038 #define spin_lock_mutex(lock, flags) \ 039 do { \ 040 struct mutex *l = container_of(lock, struct mutex, wait_lock); \ 041 \ 042 DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(in_interrupt()); \ 043 local_irq_save(flags); \ 044 __raw_spin_lock(&(lock)->raw_lock); \ 045 DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(l->magic != l); \ 046 } while (0)
Which kernel are you using? There is some locking breakage in latest kernels with softmac. I attached the fixes for the known bugs.

From: Ulrich Kunitz <kune@deine-taler.de>
ieee80211softmac_wx_get_genie locks the associnfo mutex at function exit. This patch fixes it. The patch is against Linus' tree (commit af1713e0).

From: Ulrich Kunitz <kune@deine-taler.de>
The signature of work functions changed recently from a context pointer to the work structure pointer. This caused a problem in the ieee80211softmac code, because the ieee80211softmac_assox_work function has been called directly with a parameter explicitly casted to (void*). This compiled correctly but resulted in a softlock, because mutex_lock was called with the wrong memory address. The patch fixes the problem. Another issue was a wrong call of the schedule_work function. Softmac works again and this fixes the problem I mentioned earlier in the zd1211rw rx tasklet patch. The patch is against Linus' tree (commit af1713e0).

This patch should be pushed upstream to 2.6.20. At the moment, the work struct changes have not yet propagated to wireless-2.6. When they do, it will be needed there as well.
