i don't know if it's kernel or wpa_supplicant related, nor i have tried the newest kernel package (from testing), but it's becoming quite often that when i shutdown my computer with wpa_supplicant connected to a WPA TKIP the kernel panics. i can only read something about wpa_supplicant on top of the screen, then some probably useful values that i'm not able to present.... tell me how and i might do it... it believe it may also be related to iwlwifi (3945) as my colleague has the same wireless hardware and software versions and is facing the same problems... software version: kernel26 2.6.24.3-3 wpa_supplicant 0.5.10-1 iwlwifi-3945-ucode 2.14.1.5-2 |

The only I have to append - it started only after I've switched to the netcfg2. With the old network scripts everything works fine.

I didn't think about the relation to netcfg2 though, I was probably already using it at that time. Anyway, I don't think there is a problem in netcfg2, simply that it somehow triggers a bug in the iwlwifi driver.
Also, if I remember correctly, I built some custom 2.6.24.x vanilla kernels, and it still crashed from time to time on shutdown.
Then I tried 2.6.25-rcx with a similar config, and I don't think I ever saw one crashing. So I think we can hope this problem will be simply fixed when 2.6.25 is released :)
