[Bug 200509] Re: iwl4965: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000

[klaxian]

I am still getting this problem on Jaunty with kernel 2.6.28-13.  It
mainly happens when some large files are transferred at high speed
through my local wireless network (using SSH).  The problem is
infrequent, but it is inconvenient when a transfer is halted because of
this.

Can anyone confirm that kernel 2.6.30 indeed fixes this?  If so, can a
fix be back-ported to Jaunty and other affected releases?  I'm sure I'm
not the only one who would prefer to remain on the "official" supported
packages for the kernel.

The response from intellinuxwireless.org seems to indicate that this was
a problem only when using channel 13 on the AP, but I am getting it with
channel 10.  They do report that it is resolved upstream though.  Any
idea when this proposed fix will make it into the Ubuntu package?

Lastly, if the problem is indeed overheating as some have suggested
above, should the power consumption throttling be enabled by default?
This would especially help those without the knowledge to create a
startup script.
