Other thing, which may or may not be relevant. The 'script':
rmmod iwl3945; modprobe iwl3945 debug=0x47ffffff ; sleep 10; rmmod
iwl3945; modprobe iwl3945

At the end of this 'script', shouldn't debug mode be disabled? I
thought it would be disabled, but until `modprobe iwl3945 debug=0` is
done, debug is still active. Does this mean firmware reload/module
reload isn't completely resetting the card, as I suppose it was
supposed to do?
