From memory I was getting these sort of messages when the svn WiFi driver I 
was using was in need of serious development.  I guess that you are trying to 
make an unstable device driver work I'm afraid.  I know that it is in the 
kernel and indeed it could well work fine with some set ups, but yours is 
probably not one of them.  Have you also tried the forums just in case 
someone has managed to make the particular device work with this driver?
