But is it a driver-only issue? I had assumed it was some sort of
fireware+driver issue...

Will running with debug on help? Or is it easily reproducible on any
iwl3945 / iwl4465 ?

Because in my case (iwl3945) it happens after boot, no prior suspend
to RAM is required to trigger the issues.

P.S.: the demise of bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org it's very
difficult to find useful info about this. It would appear 4465 is just
affected after suspend, believing the patch which disabled PS in 2009.
