Greetings
Been having some minor issues with ipw3945 on FC6 --> it ran rather smoothly for about a month, but now at least once a day I get the connect go down, and only reboot will resolve the issue (see /var/log/messages for errors)
I can't find a dang thing wrong with either the driver or the kernel causing this...I tried searching for bugs, but found nothing of use ... if anyone has any information, thanks beforehand!!
On a friendlier note, FC6 has been just a pleasure ... I have been able to get many apps that I need for work (e.g. Remedy) to run perfectly in wine on FC6 this is the last little bug in my system right now (so no big deal, just rather inconveinent -- IPv6 is disabled FYI, along with IPv6tables and firewall) I'll remember to re-enable it when it hits 2020, or whenever IPv4 runs out - wasn't that suppose to happen like a year ago, LOL ;-)
OK anyway, ipw3945 goes down randomly with below errors -- some config files as well for a point of reference
