           Summary: iwl4965 causes hard freeze
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.27-rc3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Wireless
        AssignedTo: networking_wireless at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: witt_th at gmx.de


Latest working kernel version: none
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.24 2.6.25 (both gentoo patched) 2.6.27-rc3
(vanilla)
Distribution: gentoo
Hardware Environment: Lenovo Thinkpad T61
Software Environment: gentoo/ ~amd64
Problem Description:  my wireless networking runs just fine with the iwl4965
driver, wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager, but after a few minutes (max is
about 1.5 hours, average 1-5 minutes) the entire system freezes up.

The capslock LED blinks helplessly and nothing works, not even magic SysRq.

Steps to reproduce: I just installed gentoo, started wlan and it fails.

I finally managed to get some info out via netconsole:
