Yes, linux-backports-modules works better for me, I get a microcode error instead of a panic.

I have opened a bug on the Intel Wireless Linux Bugzilla: http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2077

The panic bug is in Linux 2.6.31, but it is fixed (replaced by a microcode error) in never versions of the wifi driver (see the upstream bug report for details) - this is why the panic does not appear in neither linux-backports-modules nor Linux 2.6.32-rc1.

The Intel devs have suggested eventually porting the fixing commit into Linux 2.6.31. In that case, Ubuntu intervention will not be needed, else, we probably have to patch the driver (which should be easy as we know the commit).

I will keep this bug up to date.
