Description of problem:

I am filing this under the firmware, but not sure if related to module/kernel so I apologize in advance if this is wrong.

This issue seems to be reported upstream in http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1855

At unpredictable intervals, the iwlagn drivers fails, all wireless transmissions fail, and the only way to recover the wireless is a clean reboot of the machine.

This is on Lenovo X300 running Fedora 10 i386.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-PAE-2.6.27.7-134.fc10.i686
iwl4965-firmware-228.57.2.21-3.noarch

iwlagn:
alias:          iwl4965
license:        GPL
author:         Copyright(c) 2003-2008 Intel Corporation
version:        1.3.27kds
description:    Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux
firmware:       iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode

How reproducible:

Seems this affects the iwl4965 hardware. Simply run the machine, and watch the wireless fail (2/3 minutes to sometimes a week between failures).
  
Actual results:

Wireless suddenly fails and a reboot is needed to restore connectivity.

Expected results:

No wireless failure

Additional info:

Logs show the following:

I have added a 'me too' in what seems to be the upstream bug.
