Comment 179 for bug 276990

Even though I no longer get kernel panics from iwlagn, the bug is still not completely fixed. Once in a while I get these traces in my messages. Wireless is disabled, and modprobe -r && modprobe, nor rmmod or insmod will reload the iwlagn (nor cfg80211, iwlcore, mac80211, ...) module. A reboot is required to get wireless up and working again.

Hardware: HP Compaq 8710W, Core 2 Duo T7700 @ 2.40, 2gb ram, Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 chipset, 82801H (ICH8) USB, Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) wireless...
