This archlinux post suggests powernow-k8 is responsible as well

I have found a workaround until this gets sorted in the kernel.

I have an AMD cpu in my notebook and I have found that if I use phc-k8 [1] instead of powernow-k8 then
wireless works fine and I still have cpu frequency scaling. If anyone has an INTEL cpu and is also affected,
phc-intel [2] might be worth a try (if the problem is connected with modprobing the cpu driver).

Can we get a kernel with powernow-k8 available a module?

I upgraded to 2.6.35, and while the problem occurs less frequently, it still occurs.

Kernel with phc-k8 for ubuntu 10.10:
