After having searched a little bit, I found another bug report describing a similar error (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/). I have applied two patches from the 2.6.28 git tree: 8258becf07e71236aac8cf5406a1345712f9ac25  (iwlagn: downgrade BUG_ON in interrupt) and 199d9de726ff2f949405279665a9c8b38966239b (iwlagn: fix RX skb alignment) but the problems remain. However, with the first one, the computer doesn't freeze when it occurs. Does anybody have an idea on how to solve this problem.
