Bugzilla Bug 150752

Hi!
I just set up a new c2d Merom laptop with intel ipw3945abg wlan module.
During a big filetransfer (several gb) I noticed that the connection to the AP
breaks reproducablely when using WPA.

So I searched for a fix on the Inet and found this webpage:
http://www.tuxyturvy.com/blog/index.php?/archives/23-Using-the-IPW3945-with-Linux,-WPA,-and-the-SMP-Kernel.html

To cut this short: Applying the recommended patch fixes those issues for me. I
don't if this is fixed in ieee80211-1.2.x as 1.1.x is needed for ipw3945 (1.2.x
crashes system with ipw3945 module).

Best regards,
Simon

Thanks a lot Simon for reporting this, I already had that fixed with 1.1.14 but
the problem with 1.1.14 is its breaking horribly. So I just added the patch for
the 1.1.13 version. Wait an hour, then sync up and remerge the package. It's
fixed as we speak.
