Here is > /proc/interrupts: The messages you refer to are printed because a user space app (wpa_supplicant or network manager) brings the wireless interface down and up. Interrupts are disabled when interface is brought down and reenabled when interface is brought up. The unresponsiveness is due to a bug that was fixed recently. The patches have been merged into wireless-testing repo and will be included in 2.6.29.
