Hello Pekka,

I've tried to reproduce a freeze. For about an hour tortures gave no
results. Usual messages:

Nov 16 20:02:00 evo800N kernel: ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting.
Nov 16 20:02:00 evo800N kernel: ipw2200: Sysfs 'error' log already exists.
Nov 16 20:02:42 evo800N kernel: ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting.
Nov 16 20:02:42 evo800N kernel: ipw2200: Sysfs 'error' log already exists.
Nov 16 20:03:01 evo800N kernel: ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting.
Nov 16 20:03:01 evo800N kernel: ipw2200: Sysfs 'error' log already exists.
Nov 16 20:04:10 evo800N kernel: ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting.
Nov 16 20:04:10 evo800N kernel: ipw2200: Sysfs 'error' log already exists.

Other than that nothing unusual :) Even under X running, I cannot freeze
the laptop. Anything else to try ?

I think you are right - I remmember seeing EIP: release+ (numbers ...)
earlier in the Ooops output.

http://www.gemtek.lt/~zilvinas/dumps/oops.1

CPU: 0
EIP: 0060:[<c0181cec>] Not tainted VLI
EFLAGS: 00010202 (2.6.15-rc1)
EIP is at release+0x2a/0x4f <---

It happened right after f/w upload had failed as it seems.

pw2200: ipw-2.4-bss.fw load failed: Reason -2
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2
ipw2200: failed to register network device
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:04.0 disabled
ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:04.0 failed with error -5
