Yes, the hang seems to occur while the iwl3945 driver is initializing, which
continues after the module has been loaded (and while other modules are
being loaded). The ordering varies, but if we delay iwl3945 for 5 seconds
(which should cause it to be loaded last, on its own) the problem goes away.

I'm not entirely convinced that iwl3945 is actually at fault; it may just be
a trigger.

Can anyone else confirm, as stated in the bug description, that the problem
appeared between 2.6.27-1 and 2.6.27-2?
