Hello all,

I'm using Ubuntu Devel distribution (Feisty) and i have a problem with me wifi 
card witch use ipw driver.

Randomly, my connection stops and returns a few minutes (hours ?) later.
When my connection is off, I can see this in my logs (syslog & messages) :

......
Dec  5 10:44:52 localhost kernel: [13772.413009] ipw3945: Detected geography

......

It's very irritating especially that the connexion returns all alone, without 
doing anything. For this period, impossible to discharge the module ipw3945. 
The only solution to find a connection is to reboot again the machine.

Is anyone know what can i do to solve this issus ?
Must i report a bug ? and where ? ubuntu ? ipw project ?

Please, help me :)
