1 Mind you the inkernel driver for Intel wireless, specifically ipw2200,
2 caused the firmware to crash and forced the device to restart all the
3 time under load. While it automatically reloaded it self, it was very
4 annoying. I switched to the external module the other day as it's a
5 bit more recent and according to the site
6 (http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net), fixes the crashing and haven't had a
7 problem since. Hopefully 2.6.16 while hurry up :-).
