Bug Description
When running the hardy development with the latest update, i was using the wireless connection on a lenovo thinkpad r61
with the following network interface:
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Lenovo ThinkPad T61
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 215
Memory at df2fe000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
it has been spawning these messages
[ 1258.273012] wmaster0: RX WEP frame with unknown keyidx 0 (A1=00:
for quite some time (but those are reported in another bug (see bug 194662 for those), but all of a sudden the link gave up:
[ 1271.259286] iwl4965: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000.
[ 1274.233604] iwl4965: Can't stop Rx DMA.
Offcourse i wasn't particularly happy with this so i tried an rmmod/modprobe:
[ 1603.957917] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:03:00.0 disabled
[ 1617.135293] iwl4965: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN driver for Linux, 1.2.0

but that wasn't willing to let me back in either, my solution has been a reboot. I've only got this laptop recently so I haven't been able to do some thorough testing on the wlan, but i've been able to use it for a couple of hours before without these troubles and it's also the first time that i noticed these problems occuring.
