:How can I do that easily?
:The panic switches into the kernel debugger. From there?

    * The trap data when it panics, primarily the instruction pointer and
      fault address.

    * The output from a 'trace' command from the debugger prompt.  This
      will generate a significant amount of information.

	trace

    * Pick out the loader line for that module from the kernel boot
      (its a line saying 'Preloaded elf module "BLAH" at <address>' for the
      module in question), that will help.  We need the address.

    * Also run the size command on the module:

	size /modules/if_ipw.ko

    That early in the boot there's probably no way to get a kernel core
    dump.
