Since I've upgrade to Breezy, ipw2100 driver no longer works and in dmesg I've
got plenty
"Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart."

I'm always able to do an iwlist :

% sudo iwlist eth1 scanning
eth1 Scan completed :
...
          Cell 02 - Address: 00:07:CB:51:65:E0
                    ESSID:"gaspard"
                    Protocol:IEEE 802.11b
                    Mode:Master
                    Channel:11
                    Encryption key:on
                    Bit Rate:11 Mb/s

                    Quality=92/100 Signal level=-36 dBm
                    Extra: Last beacon: 31ms ago

But the card no longer register. It stays "unassociated" whatever I've tried :

% sudo iwconfig eth1 essid gaspard key open XXXXXXXXXX mode auto
% sudo iwconfig eth1
eth1 unassociated ESSID:"gaspard" Nickname:"ipw2100"
          Mode:Managed Channel=0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
          Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power:off
          Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:4D7E-7ED3-1D Security mode:open
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

Sometimes, it works for a short time and after half an hour or an hour, it crash
again.

I've tried to upgrade ipw2100 and the firmware. No way.
