[Frederik Nosi]

Hi,
first sorry if somebody is not the right contact, got the adressess from ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi.

When this happens i am able to use the card only after reloading the related modules, iwl3945 ecc. But the problem happens again after some minutes that im connected.

Kernel is 2.6.32-rc5 but his started happening around 2.6.31, not sure exactly what version as i update kernel often. Firmware is iwl3945-ucode-15.32.2.9.

Every other info that you need just ask. I hope i dont have to bisect as this is the laptop i use for work too, but if it's needed i'll do.

I'm not subscribed on any ML, so in case please cc me.

Thanks for all the work!

Done, noticed that there's a patch for this issue. Will try and tell the results. And noticed the link on how to report possible firmware problems, will follow that procedure and post the results of that too.
