Hi,

Im running intrepid on a lenovo x200, using the wifi drivers from
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
and keep having some strange issues. Most of the time what happens is
that wifi suddendly dies and i have to restart my machine to get wifi
back. (reboot is not enough). But sometimes the machine even freezes
or freezes for a couple of seconds every ten seconds or so.

Some info:
