I have run in a text console most of yesterday afternoon and this morning in an attempt to capture the panic, but it has not crashed in this period (which surprises me, as it usually crashes frequently enough that I should have seen a problem, unless it is not coming to light due to significantly reduced network usage while not in X11). I also ran yesterday, both in X11 and in the console, with the iwl4965 loaded with debug=1, and never got a panic. I have tried to get a netconsole running, but so far have had no success. If I can get a crash with debug=1 this afternoon, I'll post any additional info it yields; otherwise, I'll try either the updated firmware or the snapshot build and see if I can last tomorrow without crashing. If there are any other particular things I can/should try, let me know. - Michael -- mouse, n: A device for pointing at the xterm in which you want to type. Confused by the strange files?
