Hello, I have exactly the same problem!
I have a wireless router with ubuntu 8.04.1 server amd64 installed in it. linux-restricted-modules-server is installed and the three atheros cards I have on the computer are working, but my logs are filled of the following messages. As I realized, if there is heavy traffic in the wireless links, I get a system freeze and the only way to make it work again, is to hard reset the system. My hardy heron server installation is a clean installation without extra software installed from any other repositories or compiled by myself.
