value until it is fixed. There is no such problem for 4965, right?AFAICT only the 3945 seems to need it.I can confirm that this also applies to 4965 as a friend of mine has this card. According to him the card works a lot better with the parameters "swcrypto=3D1" and "disable_hw_scan=3D1".Just to make it clear, iwl3945 doesn't work at all without disable_hw_scan=3D1 here. The driver just shuts down thee card since it detects microcode error=

It looks like this is all caused by the big rate, band patch. Looks like A band scan channels are not configured correctly for the scanning. This crashes the firmware.
