Another mbuf free'd out form under you (0xdeadc0de param to find_txnode 
is the mac address in the 802.11 header take from the mbuf contents).

Probably the same thing; every mbuf chain has a packet header because 
the 802.11 encapsulation guarantees it.

This is a bug; I'll merge the correct code from my p4 tree.  Until then 
mark the ap down before changing the mode and bringing it back up.

The same problem appears to be around.
