[Bug 404626] Re: Turning wifi "off" using Fn+F2 on Eee PC with Ralink rt2860 results in kernel panic (rfkill)

[Leann Ogasawara]

The patch mentioned in commend #33 to resolve this bug is now in the
upstream 2.6.31.5 stable kernel.  The Karmic kernel is currently frozen
for release at the moment, but we will rebase to 2.6.31.5 as a Stable
Release Update for Karmic.  As an interim solution, feel free to run the
2.6.31.5 mainline kernel build:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31.5/

I'm pasting the commit information below just for reference:

    Staging: rt2860sta: prevent a panic when disabling when associated
    
    commit 0af49167b1e5ba154e90d2c454bf4624ee47df80 upstream.
    
    This fixes a panic which is triggered when the hardware "disappears" from
    beneath the driver, i.e. when wireless is toggled off via Fn-F2 on various
    EeePC models.
