Bug#627055: linux-image-2.6.32: ipw2200 periodically stops transmitting packets, needs to be reinserted
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-31
Severity: normal
File: linux-image-2.6.32
Every now and then when the network is stressed the interface just dies. Network manager displays flawless signal and connectivity but not as much as a ping will go out.
If module is removed and reinserted normal operation resumes (until the next time this happens anyway). If Bittorrent is used, this occurs practically daily.

I'm not sure but I think this could be a firmware bug.

The firmware for this device is packaged as firmware-ipw2x00, which you
have not installed. I assume you manually downloaded and installed
firmware instead.
I suggest you install firmware-ipw2x00, which should have the latest
version of the firmware for this device. You may want to copy/move the
currently installed files (/lib/firmware/ipw*) first, so that you can
revert to them in case the new version is worse.
Ben.

Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.
