Description:

I have notebook vaio v505cp with Intel Wi-fi card so I use ipw2100 kernel driver. With bad (weak) signal I have got plenty "ipw2100 - Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart." messages but everything had worked fine.
Unlucky after 3.3 kernel upgrade module ipw2100 load fine, I manage to connect to Wi-Fi but after short time (few minutes) I get only one message: "ipw2100 - Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart.", connection lost and doesn't restart like on 3.2 kernels.
Manual restarting drive me crazy so please for help.

Greetings,
Miroslaw

Is ipw2100 a kernel driver or do you use the ipw2100 package?

I am doing some deeper investigation and discover that the problem is not kernel but netcfg-2.7.1-1 package. After downgrade netcfg to 2.6.8-1 network card restarting fine, so this task may be close. Sorry for confusion.

Ok but it sounds like your config might be borked. So i advice you to update to the new netcfg release and check your config ;)
