[Bug 404626] Re: Turning wifi "off" using Fn+F2 on Eee PC with Ralink rt2860 results in kernel panic (rfkill)

[Stefan Bader]

** Description changed:

+ SRU Justification:
+ 
+ Impact: Trying to turn of wireless via the Fn+F2 hotkey combination
+ results in a kernel panic when the hardware vanishes from under the
+ driver.
+ 
+ Fix: Test for NULL pointer (patch from 2.6.31.5)
+ 
+ ---
+ 
  When I disable the wifi using Fn+F2, the system hangs with a kernel
  panic instead of disabling wifi.
  
  I'll try to catch the panic message properly and attach it here (but the
  machine doesn't have a serial port, so it might take some hacking).
