Subject: iwlwifi 0.0.25 on 2.6.22-rc4

Hi, I have once again tried iwl3945, but for the first time on
2.6.22-rc4, meaning on an "official" mac80211. As I still get the same
problems as with 2.6.21 and the intel mac80211 patches, I thought it was
time to report it here:

First of all, the wireless LED is all silent, but that's a minor.

Second, I have problems when I try to disconnect from an AP and connect
to another one.

At this point, I can use the connection without trouble. Then I use
wpa_gui to select another network:

At this point, I cannot ping the 10.10.10.10 gateway. And I am worried
about the messages above, so I quit wpa_supplicant.

Trying to 'rmmod iwl3945' freezes. I cannot restart the connection and
have to reboot. (In case the rmmod doesn't freeze, which sometimes
happend with older versions, I can resue the connection after rmmoding
iwl3945 and mac80211).
