The issue mentioned happens with a Thinkpad T61, WLAN hardware

>   Model: "Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection"
>   SubVendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation"
>   SubDevice: pci 0x1011
>   Revision: 0x61
>   Driver: "iwl4965"
>   Driver Modules: "iwl4965"

But on my netbook (Acer Aspire One D257) right to the right ;-) of the
T61 this doesn't happen. hwinfo --wlan tells me here:

  Model: "Intel WLAN controller"
  SubVendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation"
  SubDevice: pci 0x1005
  Driver: "iwlwifi"
  Driver Modules: "iwlwifi"

So it seems to be a problem of the driver.

Following the text on <http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Info>, I should
be able to replace T61's iwl4965 driver by iwlwifi, shouldn't I?
