Sadly I have no entry for that in syslog, buffers hadn't been flushed. But I
was watching at dmesg an no error was shown...

Are you using by any chance ieee80211-1.1.14-r1 ?

No, it is hardmasked
Should I unmask it and try again ?

(In reply to comment #2)
> No, it is hardmasked

No, by no means :) Just tell me which version you are using.

Latest non-masked version : 1.1.13-r1

Sorry, it seems that the problem comes from ieee80211, upgrading to 1.1.15
without modifying ipw3945 freeze the kernel too
