Latest built wl driver (sta) from broadcom does not cause crash. This is
a version issue of the wl driver that is included as the wl package. I
followed the instructions in the compile guide and moved the existing
wl.ko drivers to test. Checked that my compiled version was the running
version and re-ran the original command that caused the kernel to crash.
My issue was resolved.
