I had the same problem few minutes after starting my Netgear WG511 on my 
Fujitsu-Siemens Liefebook E7110 first time (2.6.0 Kernel, debian).
I used this patch: prism54-cvs20031231.tar.bz2
Messages are repeated thousands times in syslog, all consoles hung and I 
only could poweroff PC. not even acpi-powerbutton poweroff worked.

Is there any solution?
I had something similiar one year ago with an old orinico_pci driver I 
needed for my intern wlan-card. that was fixed with newer code.
