Same for me on acer aspire 9412 (CoreDuo).
dmesg output:

The last four lines repeat till I kill /sbin/ipw3945d-2.6.15-26-686

I tried the ipw3945 driver version 1.1.0, too even with ieee80211 driver 1.1.14 to no avail. Still the same dmesg output.

This error occurs on:
  Linux version 2.6.15-26-686 (buildd@terranova) (gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 3 03:13:28 UTC 2006

So I tried the 386 kernel image to verify if it is specific to the smp kernel and I got the exactly same results on the 386 kernel, too.

Best Regards,
