AFAICT there are only two commits since -rc4 that are likely candidates:

commit b56ab33d68638e6aafdbfc694025e8354a628f49

    eeepc-laptop: Prevent a panic when disabling RT2860 wireless when
		  associated

commit 0af49167b1e5ba154e90d2c454bf4624ee47df80
Author: Darren Salt <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Wed Oct 14 02:19:22 2009 +0100
    Staging: rt2860sta: prevent a panic when disabling when associated

They look related and which one is relevant for you probably depends on 
which driver you're using.

Could you try reverting them both to see if that solves the problem?
