Thank you Thomas for this fast response.
Well, frankly I was surprised that ipv6 had a link with that.

>I also get lots of rows about 'Detected geography ABG ...'
yeah, seen that, others have reported that too, I don't know what to think, at 
least I am not convinced it is an error message.

>after enabling logging from ipw3945d I can see in that file that I very 
>frequently get 'WARNING: In scan; requesting concurrent scan.'
nice, how to you enable that logging?
>'WARNING: In scan; requesting concurrent scan.'
much like if scan was not supported and never finished, so an other scan 
request come in before the first one finished

I begin to have a new vague hypothesis.
In your log you have:
Nov 27 21:11:48 localhost NetworkManager: <WARN> 
nm_device_802_11_wireless_get_essid(): error getting ESSID for device eth1: 
Resource temporarily unavailable
Note the 802_11 part, refering to wireless protocol as far as I know.
In the ipw3945 it is said:
3.6. IEEE 802.11h Details 
-----------------------------------------------
Only BASIC reporting is supported; CCA and RPI are optional and not 
implemented.  The driver currently does not respond with the appropriate 
refusal frame if it receives a request that it will not provide a 
report for.  

Maybe this is exactly what is going on, driver receiving a request for
which it is not responding with appropriate refusal frame.

Well, I begin to think that I am clueless.

It really begin to feel like a kernel bug to me.
So I guess I will just ask you the usual information for kernel bug, then 
confirmed this bug so as to let a real developer take a look.
Please include the following additional information, if you have not already 
done so (pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the 
Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. 
It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version 
you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" after a fresh boot and attach the 
resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the 
resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-
related bug reports is available at [WWW]
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies. Thanks in advance!
