Hi Martin,
Thank you for your reply

No, I always download a new image and use synsinst to upgrade.
So both kernel and userland are default from the install image.

gdb doesn't tell me anything as I don't have the debug set right now,
on both cases I get

No struct type named ieee80211req_del_key.

Maybe, I should just upgrade using a more recent image.
If this persists I could grab the debug set for that.
