Title:
  iwl3945 wireless connection becomes unreliable

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Dell XPS m1330 with Intel Wireless ABG

  uname -a: Linux ethan-XPS-M1330 3.2.0-60-lowlatency-pae #62-Ubuntu SMP
  PREEMPT Tue Feb 25 00:32:18 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

  what I expect:  wireless connectivity to be reliable and consistent
  what happens instead:  wireless connection cuts out, recovers, re-establishes connection.  sometimes (rare) requires disabling / re-enabling via hardware or software switch.   sometimes (more rare) hardware fails completely until reboot (removing and re-inserting module fails -- hardware disappears to the system until reboot).  This problem will occur without a suspend / resume cycle.

  This problem appeared recently, within the last month or two months of
  kernel updates.  I think the next step in debugging would be to test
  reliability against previous kernel versions.

  some relevant dmesg:
