The problem is with the DISABLED_MODULES checking. I use:

DISABLED_MODULES="ath_hal fc fglrx ltm"

(which has worked fine for ages). The problem is that every time it gets to "ath_hal" in the list, it adds "ath_hal" back:

    case "$1" in
      madwifi|ath_hal)
        set -- $@ ath_hal ath_pci ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_minstrel \
        ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample wlan wlan_acl \
        wlan_ccmp wlan_scan_ap wlan_scan_sta wlan_tkip \
        wlan_wep wlan_xauth
        shift

resulting in an infinite loop. I have no idea why this doesn't fail under 2.6.26. Running sudo lrm-manager --kver=2.6.26-5-generic --quick certainly does fail (running under 2.6.27).
