Repeated Kernel Oopses (WiFi)

This has been rather annoying on my laptop, but I am getting constant
kernel oopses with my WiFi and broadband adapters. This is on a ThinkPad
T400. It usually happens when I connect or disconnect USB devices, which
includes my broadband adapter. A trace from an example happening with my
WiFi adapter is below.

Anyone else having these issues, or is it just me and something I may or
may not have done?

Cheers,

Chris
