Comment 27 for bug 200064

Johne,

Have you tried installing the linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-16-generic package? This contains an updated version of the iwl3945 driver which will not be made the default for 8.04, because the version currently in linux-ubuntu-modules is the only one certified by Intel for Centrino. (In other words: the kernel module in l-b-m wouldn't be /better/, it would just give us a /different/ set of bugs).

The iwl3945 driver in l-u-m does work well for most users and the version in l-b-m seems to fix the issues for most others, so I'm marking this bug as 'declined' for hardy.
