Bug 272607

Overview: 

    I was attempting to connect my laptop to the eduroam wifi network. I discovered I could reliably cause a kernel panic every time I executed 'service netif stop' or '/etc/rc.d/netif stop'. At this point I had not yet been able to connect to the network. Later I found that one of my settings in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf was wrong. I had "network {... eap=TTLS ...}" whereas the correct setting was apparently "network {... "eap=PEAP" ...}". Once this was corrected, I was able to connect to the network, and I could no longer trigger a kernel panic. 

Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Use an /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file similar to below.
    2. Execute 'service netif stop'

/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
        ssid="eduroam"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        eap=TTLS
        identity="your_id@yourdomain.tld"
        anonymous_identity="anonymous_id@yourdomain.tld"
        password="your_password"
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
        ca_cert="/usr/local/etc/ssl/certs/yourNetworkingRootCA.pem"
}

Actual Results:

    The system crashes with a kernel panic (page fault) with messages as shown below in excerpts from relevant log files.
