I juste got this error and understand why I randomly have wifi problems:
[ 1730.467073] iwl3945: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x82000008.
[ 1732.454889] iwl3945: Can't stop Rx DMA.

On top of that, wlan interface does not restart until I do an ifdown/ifup sequence...

I use stock and up to date 2.6.24-21-generic

Also note there was a lot of netfilter traces of rejected packets when this occured... But when wlan is restarted, it can last all day long after that...

Note this pb is known and seems to be solved since several months:
