Add me to that list. I've had problems with the iwl4965 on my HP laptop ever since I got it. Since then I went through various kernel/driver/firmware combinations, but all with the same result: eventually I would get a microcode error and would lose all connectivity. Sometimes unloading and reloading the module would get me back online, sometimes I'd have to reboot, but sometimes not even that would help. Then I could power off, unplug the laptop and even take the battery out, the wireless would still not work and only give me microcode errors. This has happened before and is also the current state right now, with the driver from 2.6.30 and newest firmware. In the past it always miraculously fixed itself, the wireless would work again after an hour or so.

Unfortunately I can't give any new insight to this, as I have no idea what's going on.
