I am curious if anyone who was experiencing this problem with the
ipw2200 module has noticed a relationship between CPU temp and driver
stability.  (For laptops, that is.  Probably no effect on desktops.)

I had been intermittently experiencing the problems described in this
thread, i.e. wifi connection drops out with repeated "Failed to send
SYSTEM_CONFIG: Already sending a command." errors in dmesg, regardless
of whether the signal is encrypted.

Several days ago I discovered my HP nw8240 notebook was running quite
hot, circa 100C CPU temperature peaks, likely due to degraded thermal
junction between the chipsets and fansink.

I've since turned on aggressive CPU frequency throttling to keep the
motherboard from melting down until I can get new thermal paste, but I
notice now that the wifi seems more stable.  No drop-outs yet.
