Trying wireless-testing as well as the driver from 2.6.25-4 both 
resulted in kernel panics from null pointers.
They both popped up running iwconfig, one in lbs_scan_networks (2.6.25) 
and the other in lbs_process_command_response(wireless-testing)
I just copied the contents of drivers/net/wireless/libertas into the 
2.6.24 svn blackfin kernel,  recompiled and made a few minor fixes.
It wasn't very obvious what was causing either.

I might just have to wait for these updates to work their way into the 
blackfin sources, unless there are other ideas?
