I recently read that Atheros can work either with ath5k or ath9k so I
blacklisted the prior and enabled the latter on bootup the following
way.

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
blacklist ath5k

sudo nano /etc/modules
ath9k

Again, this allows me to start vlc with ir support enabled and only ends
in a kernel panic when the remote is utilized --which is better than
opening vlc with ir support and have it cause the kernel panic. All this
makes me think there are two bugs here, a conflict between ath6k and
lirc and the other between ath9k against lirc, the earlier being the
worse since it's the most incapacitating.

So presumably you can now surf wirelessly and reliably, just don't use
the ir remote, still.

Title:
  Kernel Panic --not syncing fatal exception in interrupt

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using the infrared remote control results in a kernel panic. This is
  reproducible using mplayer.

  apt-cache policy mplayer
  mplayer:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1+svn34540-1ubuntu4
    Version table:
       2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1+svn34540-1ubuntu4 0
          500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/universe i386 Packages
       2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1+svn34540-1ubuntu2 0
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) I expect to use the infrared remote successfully, without resulting in a kernel panic.
  4) Audio loops like a scratched record, computer hard locks so that the keyboard becomes entirely unresponsive: no escaping to a tty, keyboard capslock doesn't light up, screen goes to tty1 and outputs "Kernel Panic --not syncing fatal exception in interrupt", and SysRq-cntrl-alt-r does not reboot the computer.
