I still have lockup problems with iwl4965 and the latest kernel and firmware. Only around certain types of wireless points such as found in FCC computer center at Fermilab, not at home which is an 802.11g. Didn't have them under 5.2. Only way to get around is to hook up to a cable, disable the

Hello, There is a new security kernel out for SL5. It is based off the new kernel from Update 3, and hense, has all it's changes, including driver updates. I'm still a little nervous about pushing this out, so I'd like it to be tested a bit more. One of the new changes that it has is updated

I would be interested if anyone else with an iwl4965 driver tries the new driver/firmware and sees their machine lock up from time to time. In the presence of certain wireless access points (mostly in Fermilab's Feynman Computing CenteR) my machine locks up after about 10 minutes, unless I turn
