Ehh, looks like scaning problem ..., you can probably workaround it by disable_hw_scan=1 module parameter, or setup NetworkManager to configure constant BSSID (AP MAC address) in your wireless network parameters in NM, hence stop NM requesting periodic scan. I'm also attaching patch for test. > Any log I could enable to help you ? Yes (if patch does not help) plese configure syslog to log debug messages into /var/log/kernel (some hint here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DebugWireless), restart syslog, then do: modprobe -r iwl4965 echo > /var/log/kernel modprobe iwl4965 debug=0x47ffffff wait minute or two for microcode error. modprobe -r iwl4965 assure micocode error is in the log, and post me compressed file. If it will be too big, you can wip out data starting from microcode error to end of the file. Thanks Stanislaw
