Hello Stanislaw, Indeed that error was fixed but the device is still non functional and I got two of them so it is not defective hardware. I tested with: rmmod iwl4965 modprobe iwl4965 swcrypto=1 and after a reboot I added: options iwlwifi swcrypto=1 here: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf This time some new errors came to surface: [ 1635.006819] iwl4965 0000:02:00.0: Error sending TX power (-5) [ 1736.613307] iwl4965 0000:02:00.0: Can't stop Rx DMA.
