I had a similar glitch yesterday. I rmmoded the ipw2200 driver, and modprobed it. It's been fine since. I do have a lot of this: Mar 1 20:25:51 dragon kernel: ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting. Mar 1 20:25:51 dragon kernel: ipw2200: Sysfs 'error' log already exists. Mar 1 20:44:22 dragon kernel: ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting. Mar 1 20:44:22 dragon kernel: ipw2200: Sysfs 'error' log already exists. I wonder if it's related to suspending to memory a lot. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
