Damn it!

After a few days of smooth sailing, I noticed that the iwl4965 driver crapped out. This is not nice. Seems like nothing is ever easy with this problem. I am going to try and update the iwl4965 drivers and see how that goes...

For reference, this is the problem I saw (dmesg | grep iwl):
[ 24.104000] iwl4965: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN driver for Linux, 1.1.0
[ 24.104000] iwl4965: Copyright(c) 2003-2007 Intel Corporation
[ 24.104000] iwl4965: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
[ 24.440000] iwl4965: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 19 802.11a channels
[ 24.440000] wmaster0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-4965-rs'
[135851.700000] iwl4965: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000.
[135909.124000] iwl4965: REPLY_ADD_STA failed

I fixed this by reloading the drivers again.
$ sudo modprobe -r iwl4965
$ sudo modprobe iwl4965

Not funny. Not funny at all.
