Hello, sorry for the delay but I only managed to try it out today..
I've applied the patch and tortured the system as far as I could, and
no hang at all :)

I've read the thread and it apparently replaces one bad problem for a
lesser one, so I understand if it's not applied.. But at least there
is a place in the code to point as the culprit :)

It definitely should be applied anyway :) I guess John just hasn't
caught up with all threads yet.

John: This is about the patch in the "mac80211/bcm43xx deadlock" thread
from Michael, it kills some rtnl_lock()/unlock() that causes this
deadlock.
