On the following kernel+linuxwireless versions:
- Ubuntu 10.04+latest wireless backports
- 2.6.36-rc4+compat-wireless-2.6.36-rc3-1
My wifi connection drops every few minutes and freezes the desktop for
20 seconds. It then recovers and the following is listed in dmesg:
[ 3257.370882] iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!.
CSR_GP_CNTRL = 0x080003D8

The deep sleep msg is repeated numerous times.
