Hi all, Annoying issue.. my ThinkPad T61 has an iwl4965 wireless card. When I have the wireless switch on, I experience a lot of issues.. system keeps freezing..unfreezing..freezing..etc. Sometimes, a soft lockup is logged to /var/log/messages. psmouse.c also sometimes throws an error saying the mouse lost synchronization. Obviously, this is causing the system to freeze for a sec and throws everything off. This is the case with both iwl4965-firmware ver 228.57.1.21 and 228.57.2.23. Any suggestions? I am not able to use my wifi :( Other info: CentOS 5.3 - 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 (also happens with 2.6.18-128.el5) x86_64 Thanks in advance for any ideas. Ryan
