I still have lockup problems with iwl4965 and the latest kernel
and firmware. Only around certain types of wireless points
such as found in FCC computer center at Fermilab, not at home
which is an 802.11g. Didn't have them under 5.2.
Only way to get around is to hook up to a cable, disable the wireless
at the kill switch and in the OS.
