Hello!

I am not a developer of any kind, but I wanted to draw your attention to
the problem described here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/263059
The latest iwl3945 driver combined with 2.6.27.2 and above kernel hangs
the system randomly on boot. Removing the firmware or blacklisting the
driver solves it. Is there a workaround? Is this a driver issue or
kernel issue? And is this problem known and being taken care of?

Yours truly,
Yotam Benshalom
