I see that iwl3945 began to show some microcode errors like that:

[ 18.259947] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode
[ 18.766225] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: loaded firmware version 15.32.2.9
[ 18.817952] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x82000008.
[ 18.817971] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: Error Reply type 0x00000000 cmd UNKNOWN (0x88) seq 0xDB3B ser 0x00880000
[ 18.822468] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: Can't stop Rx DMA.
[ 20.790058] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: Wait for START_ALIVE timeout after 2000ms.

Now it still works, but there were cases it didn't.

I post more detailed info soon.

Best regards,
Maxim Levitsky

Thanks for the report; disappointing news.

Don't forget to load driver with debug=0x43fff, to get Error and Event logs.
