I've noticed in the past few days a pattern: sometimes nm-applet starts showing empty bars for the signal strength. Running the script: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down; sleep 1 sudo rmmod hp_wmi; sudo rmmod iwl3945; sudo rmmod iwlegacy; sudo rmmod mac80211; sudo rmmod cfg80211 sleep 2; sudo rmmod rfkill; sync sudo modprobe rfkill; sudo modprobe cfg80211; sudo modprobe mac80211; sudo modprobe iwlegacy sudo modprobe iwl3945; sudo modprobe hp_wmi; sleep 1; sudo ifconfig wlan0 up usually triggers a kernel crash. This has happened twice so far. I tried it now for the third time but it didn't crash.

Looking at other mails around here it seems not to be driver specific, at least the cfg80211_mlme_disassoc part.
