It's on openmoko trac:

Thats a dbus error reply from wpa_supplicant.
Just guessing (I cannot check now) try to remove empty wep keys from
.nwa.conf, or in general remove from it pair values in "Unaccepted
options" that are not present in your wpa_supplicant.conf.

I do see kernel panics in the syslog and Wifi usually does not work (fsoraw fails to aquire the WiFi resource and I don't get the eth0 interface). I *seem* to have less problems if I load the driver later manually.

Not yet.
