Public bug reported: After upgrading from 9.04 to the 9.10 development branch on an iBook G4 today, disabling the wireless from NetworkManager causes an Oops. X and other apps are still somewhat responsive, but remote ssh sessions and local terminal sessions completely freezes.
The same (I assume) issue can be triggered by executing: iwconfig wlan0 txpower off This results in the attached Oops printout and a frozen system.
