Bug Description
I have discovered a very serious bug with the kernel on ubuntu natty 64bit .
upon doing some digging on the upstream irc i was told there was a patch which fixed this issue from upstream.
when connecting to wpa networks this issue doesnt arise its only specific to wpa2.
I am unable to provide any more informamtion due to the kernel panic requiring me to do a hard reboot.

I am going to recompile the kernel from upstream source to test if this fixes the issue, but in the mean time can the patch be included in the kernel.

The information provided is unfortunately not very specific. At least not enough to pick the one patch that fixes the problem. Realistically today would be the last day for an upload and that makes it unlikely. But the updates from 2.6.38.3 are scheduled to be in the next update after release. And that should also happen quite close after release.
