[Bug 158695] Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card looses wirless extensions

[Matt Darcy]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image

System Hardware:

Dell XPS M1330

Ubuntu OS:

Ubuntu 7.10, x86
Linux obiwan 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Problem

Intel wireless card 3945ABG, using the restricted driver works fine. At
random points after approx minimum of 35 minutes use the connection
drops.

On investigation, the card has lost its "wireless extensions".

an "iwconfig" on the card will not reconfigure it.
The card maintains its IP address, routing information.
Dmesg reports no change in the card the interface is still "up", the only points of interest is that the laptop drops from the network and that iwconfig reports no wireless extensions on the card post the drop off.

Rebooting is the only solution I have found to resolve this issue.
