@Zach -- the kernel contained what appeared to be the minor fix that
realtek had made to the driver.  We are not trivially able to replace
the driver as that is against the SRU process but if we can identify the
changes that fixed iwpriv -a we could backport just those.  The change I
found was a single buffer resize that they had made in the ioctl
apparently causing the panics.  There may be more than one fix we
require from the updated driver.
