Jeff, Atmel driver in 2.6.0-test11 is leaking SKBs if card gets disassociated from an AP when it's about to transfer packet. Simon (atmel maintainer) is OK with the patch. Given the fact that we are leaking memory I think it may be beneficial to push it to Linus (if you like the patch).

I've queued up the below. From: Ville Nuorvala I've experienced random lockups witch become almost certain under heavy loads, like when doing ping6 -f.
