Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Version: 0.9
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I managed to connect to a WiFi network but after about a minute of surfing the 
internet connection died. While searching for the cause I stumbled upon such 
errors in 'dmesg':

--start dmesg snippet--
wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0
wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:18:39:a5:79:fc
wlan0: RX authentication from 00:18:39:a5:79:fc (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0)

--end dmesg snippet--

I have no idea what the problem might be but "microcode SW error" gave me a hint 
towards the firmware.

My laptop has an Intel 3945 chip.

latest firmware package has newer microcode 
that together with newer driver no longer give those errors.
thus closing.
