When this happens i am able to use the card only after reloading the related modules, iwl3945 ecc. But the problem happens again after some minutes that im connected.

Kernel is 2.6.32-rc5 but his started happening around 2.6.31, not sure exactly what version as i update kernel often. Firmware is iwl3945-ucode-15.32.2.9.

Every other info that you need just ask. I hope i dont have to bisect as this is the laptop i use for work too, but if it's needed i'll do.

I'm not subscribed on any ML, so in case please cc me.

Thanks for all the work!

F.
