Comment 395 for bug 621265

I've been inactive for a long time but here I come again and see people still having the same problem.
I was one of the first (if not the first) to discover that Network Manager was causing or at least augmenting the problem. It's a pity neither Network Manager's nor Intel's team did anything to move this issue further. ;-(
The fact is that going without Network Manager makes it impossible to reproduce the bug. The question is why it affects iwl3945 and not other cards like iwl4965? Or maybe no one knows because the drop isn't that big?
