This seems to affect me, too.
Got an IBM thinkpad X31.
If I remember right it started with ath5k and kernel 2.6.31-20.

lspci:
02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
dmesg:
ath5k phy0: Atheros AR5212 chip found (MAC: 0x56, PHY: 0x41)
Had a similar problem with madwifi a year and a half ago.
I can not really reproduce it, although while I have been running transmission and surfing with firefox/chrome at the same time I almost everytime got the kernel panic sooner or later.
