wlan0 Interface seems to freeze.

[Praedor Atrebates]

I get essentially the same problem, sans the dmesg message, with my WUSB11 
v2.6 (atmel driver).  I have a good connection to my laptop (using pcmcia 
Zoomair prism2 and hostap), kernel 2.4.18, which NEVER goes down or has a 
problem as you describe.  My WUSB11, however, works for some hours (sometimes 
half a dozen or more, sometimes just a few) but then just stops responding 
and resetting is impossible.  The only way to get it back is with a reboot.

The problem appears similar to your prism2 problem though from totally 
different system (different device type - atmel - and interface - usb).
