It's hard to help you if you are using a modified snapshot that is  
more than a year old.  Maybe you could at least use the current  
snapshot?

There is a lot of documentation how to debug kernel code.  If your  
kernel is compiled with debug information, you can do this:

gdb wlan.ko
li *(ieee80211_input+0x1bc)

That should show you the line where the oops is happening.

The next step is to add printk() statements around that place to see  
where exactly the crash happens.  Print all the data that is used by  
the code, and then you should be able to see what is going wrong.
