Hi,
It's sounds silly, but new iwlwifi-0.0.25 crash down Xorg server. The
problem is intel i810 video driver.
In my toshiba A200 I've got intel945GM pci-e video card. It run
normal on xf-video-i810 driver (kernel support of 945 is experimental)
on archlinux.
When I install iwlwifi-0.0.25 (make, make install) for 4965AGN and
restart xserver, it crash...
Error log:
(EE) I810(0): V_BIOS Address 0x80 out of range
(EE) I810(0): VBE initialization failed.
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
Now i just go to iwlwifi-0.0.25 and make uninstall. Server restart - and
xorg run perfectly, but iwl4965 is uninstalled :(
xorg.conf and other X configuration files or drivers are not changing during
this process. Only install and uninstall of iwlwifi-0.0.25...
Is there any known solution to fix this up?
regards,
pawel

The attached patch fixes this problem. Thanks for reporting.
John, can you include this in wireless-dev GIT?
Thanks,

I hit this too on two different cards, without iwlwifi driver. Unlike you,
the only solution that worked for me was restart.
Seems like a bug in i810. It's possible it's triggered by loading iwlwifi
or it may be just a coincidence.
Does restart (I really mean a full reboot, to let BIOS reinitialize the
card) fix the problem with iwlwifi still installed?
