When reloading the iwl3945 driver I often get this: [ 830.333386] iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.2.26kds [ 830.333407] iwl3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2009 Intel Corporation [ 830.333536] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 [ 830.374979] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 0 802.11a channels [ 830.374995] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 3945BG [ 830.375163] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: irq 32 for MSI/MSI-X [ 830.376859] phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-3945-rs' [ 830.427214] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode [ 830.526945] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: loaded firmware version 15.32.2.9 [ 830.544236] CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 15000 nsec [ 830.575694] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: BSM uCode verification failed at addr 0x00003800+0 (of 900), is 0xa5a5a5a2, s/b 0xf802020 [ 830.578862] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: Hardware error detected.

I disabled this option, so next time I feel like rebooting my system, I see if this option was the cause.
