I'm running Ubuntu Hardy with the 2.6.24-16-generic kernel.
I've followed the log approach laid out by Luis Rodriguez below,
and attached the corresponding dmesg output.

As you see, the modprobe FAILS due to lots of unknown symbols.

Oh, one other note that I hadn't mentioned before.  I've found
that a 'sudo make uninstall' doesn't get rid of the module - at
least, it doesn't reset the module list.  If I follow a 'sudo make
uninstall' by 'sudo modprobe iwl3945', it tries to insert the same
(faulty) module.  Only by rebooting is the original restored.
How do I update the module list after doing a make uninstall?

Thanks - hope this helps!

Please reply to the list explaining this, Intel reads linux-wireless
so they can help if its their driver.

Do this:

Reboot.

sudo dmesg -c > log1
less log1 # review it to make sure there are no oops
sudo make unload
sudo dmesg -c
sudo modprobe iwl4965
# Try to connect or whatever to try to replicate your oops
sudo dmesg -c > oops.txt

copy and paste the oops.txt into your e-mail, that will give a cleaner
log. Also be sure to mention your kernel you are using.

   Luis

You have iwlwifi's mac8011 making the calls here. Please do after make
install and after make uninstall:

sudo modprobe -l iwl4965
sudo modprobe -l mac80211
sudo modprobe -l iwlwifi_mac80211

Also inspect your /lib/modules/ directory and /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/

Okay, so I think I have an idea what might be going on.  I've attached
the modprobe -l for the various modules involved both after installation
and after uninstallation.  I note that after uninstallation, there are
still a few modules from the /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/updates
folder.  Is this possibly due to an older self-installed compat-wireless
update?
Has monkeying around with non-apt packages goofed me up here?
If so, how can I fix it?

Do this:

dpkg -S  /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/updates/wireless/iwlwifi/

keep note of that package and remote it, or just do

sudo make unload
sudo make uninstall
sudo rm -rf  /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/updates/wireless/
sudo depmod -ae
sudo make install
sudo make unlaod
lsmod | grep iwl
# remove iwl mac80211 or any other stuff which make unload would not
have picked up on
# like modules from other packages
sudo modprobe iwl4965

Now you should be good.

  Luis

Thanks, Luis, that seems to do the trick.  The new module installed
and loaded with no errors, and appears to be working correctly!

Thanks again!
