The latest kernel-2.6.6-1.403.i686.rpm from
http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.6/RPMS.kernel/ does not give oops
messages and works fine with atmel wireless card.

the only problem is that in dmesg it gives the following message:

The current kernel (2.6.6-1.427) works great for me.
I get Badness in kobject_get in /var/log/messages as well, but I kan
live with that.

kernel 2.6.6-1.435 will oops when I insert the card, even with the
2.6.6 patch that is recommended by the driver author.

Using kernel 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 and no addtional patches the driver will
load and the card will work but I do get this error:

Which I believe is solved by the authors patch.

Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be
provided by Red Hat.  The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel
updates for security problems only.

If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please
try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the
product version accordingly.

Thank you.
