BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at      (null)
IP: [<ffffffffa02e869d>] ieee80211_ave_rssi+0xd/0x50 [mac80211]

From my debug kernel, sdata is clearly NULL:

(gdb) list *0xffffffff815b74f8
0xffffffff815b74f8 is in ieee80211_ave_rssi (net/mac80211/util.c:1801).
1796	int ieee80211_ave_rssi(struct ieee80211_vif *vif)
1797	{
1798		struct ieee80211_sub_if_data *sdata = vif_to_sdata(vif);

I'll look into it, thanks.

We had a fix, but it seems I missed putting it into 3.5:

Author: Ilan Peer [off-list ref]

    iwlwifi: Check BSS ctx active before call mac80211

I'll ask Greg to include it in 3.5 stable.
