Ok, firtly, I think I made a mistake. The URL should have been  :
 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download
since this is where the fix for this issue is.

Basically, there was a new mac80211 module introduced in the stock kernel
from 2.6.22 which probably has cause this issue.

Without getting too confused,  this is what you need to do :
- If your kernel is <=2.6.26 , download the source from  :
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-old.tar.bz2

and if you have kernel >= 2.6.26, download from :
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2

The instructions for installing this are on the same page.

Thanks,
Raseel.
