I can reliably reproduce a total system lock-up (no response to SysReq keys) when-ever the module is removed. It occurs about 3 seconds after the removal has completed whilst the notification of removal is still on-screen.

sudo modprobe -r iwl3945

sudo modprobe iwl3945

uname -a
Linux hephaestion 2.6.28-11-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 18 21:55:34 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Because the lock-up is total the log files aren't synced and therefore the last 5 seconds or so of messages are not in the logs to help diagnose it. Tomorrow I shall use a netconsole connection to try to get more information.
