[MLB-WIRELESS] Kernel panic

Ey all,
I have a WL200 running under Linux. It fires up okay, and I can raise set 
the card in full Master mode, but after a short while it suffers from a 
kernel panic, seemingly at random. I no understand.
Output from uname, iwconfig and dmesg is after the sig. Apologies for the 
size of this message, but it's relevant to wireless. OS is Red Hat 7.3.
Please snip before you reply :/
