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:

    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.
