Snapshot of FC 16 kernel panic from paging request re AE1000 wireless dev

Description of problem: Kernel panic occurs from paging request when using AE1000 wireless dev


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC 16 3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:Varies, but sometimes occurs when using ralinktech.com RT3572 source module for using AE1000 Linksys wireless device


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in AE1000
2. Proceed to utilize AE1000
3. Sometimes a panic occurs due to paging, sometimes it does not.
  
Actual results:
[  140.990548] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffcfb015907424


Expected results: Kernel does not panic


Additional info: Please see attachment.  Not sure if this is entirely due to the software module, or if there is a glitch in the kernel in handling paging requests, but thought I'd submit it for recordation purposes.

I'm not sure where you got the rt3572sta driver from, but it's not in the upstream kernel and we don't ship it with Fedora.  You should report your problem to wherever you downloaded it from.

Thanks, will be doing that as well.   Worked ok in FC15, just wanted to "document" it in case of any particular issue in FC16.
