Scanning Problem

[Miguel Bello]

Hi all,

I have an embedded board TQM8xxL with motorola processor mpc823e 50Mhz, 
Flash Memory
8MB, RAM Memory 16MB.
I am using kernel version 2.4.4 to which I have applied patches to 
update the wireless extensions.
The hostap driver version  is 0.3.9.
I am testing with a Netgear card 16-bit Model MA401.
I set wireless card in Managed mode and assign essid and IP manually  
and it connects with my Access point. 
I obtain kernel oops when I want to do scan with the  iwlist command

# iwlist wlan0 scanning

Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11

doing a debug with ksymoops I get:
