* firmware: iwlwifi-5000-ucode 8.24.2.12-2
* kernel: 2.6.31 x86_64

Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect to 802.11n access point (WPA-PSK)
2. Set up heavy traffic (through samba for instance)
3. Wait for system to freeze in 15 min

The same happens with me. After one hour or more, I get disconnected and I can try to reconnect several times but it won't reconnect. I have to unload and load the module again, then the first time after that I can reconnect, other times I get a kernel panic, eveything freezes.
