It is fixed upstream, I am running
464535a375cc7b28cc739bfed95adbcc5e5f2ee6 from the wireless-testing git
tree. This is slightly more recent than the soon to be released 2.6.25
kernel. I'll try to see if 2.6.25 it has the bug, otherwise the fix will
be in 2.6.26.

I do not think this has a chance to be fixed in hardy, since it will stick to a 
2.6.24 kernel.
Unless someone writes a patch to 2.6.24 that, while not really fixing the 
issue, at least prevents the crash. This thread explains the bug: 
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/12948 .

It is not that easy either to get 2.6.25 working, since make-kpkg doesn't work 
with that recent kernel - 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446879 .
The only way to have wifi not crashing right now is to compile your kernel 
yourself.
