I would be interested if anyone else with an iwl4965 driver tries
the new driver/firmware and sees their machine lock up from time to time.
In the presence of certain wireless access points (mostly in
Fermilab's Feynman Computing CenteR) my machine locks
up after about 10 minutes, unless I turn my wireless kill switch off.
In other situations mine is fine.
