A recent patch that is related is ... commit 4583f7455c6b668a4e9cab154b5a7b6c583b288a Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Apr 23 10:45:04 2009 +0200 iwlwifi: notify on scan completion even when shutting down Under certain circumstances iwlwifi can get stuck and will no longer accept scan requests, because the core code (cfg80211) thinks that it's still processing one. This fixes one of the points where it can happen, but I've still seen it (although only with my radio-off-when-idle patch).
