Since I've upgrade to Breezy, ipw2100 driver no longer works and in dmesg I've
got plenty 
"Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart."

I'm always able to do an iwlist :

% sudo iwlist eth1 scanning
eth1      Scan completed :
...
          Cell 02 - Address: 00:07:CB:51:65:E0
                    ESSID:"gaspard"
                    Protocol:IEEE 802.11b
                    Mode:Master
                    Channel:11
                    Encryption key:on
                    Bit Rate:11 Mb/s
                    Extra: Rates (Mb/s): 1 2 5.5 11
                    Quality=92/100  Signal level=-36 dBm
                    Extra: Last beacon: 31ms ago

But the card no longer register. It stays "unassociated" whatever I've tried :

% sudo iwconfig eth1 essid gaspard key open XXXXXXXXXX mode auto
% sudo iwconfig eth1
eth1      unassociated  ESSID:"gaspard"  Nickname:"ipw2100"
          Mode:Managed  Channel=0  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
          Bit Rate=0 kb/s   Tx-Power:off
          Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:4D7E-7ED3-1D   Security mode:open
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Sometimes, it works for a short time and after half an hour or an hour, it crash
again.

I've tried to upgrade ipw2100 and the firmware. No way.
