The biggest problems I have with iwlwifi:

  - it doesn't associate as 11g when connecting to an 11g network, 
instead it continues to associate as 11b (still true on Linville #7 kernels)

  - it will drop dead when there are many packets small in flight, 
something is broken with the transmit queue stopping and starting.  I 
can do normal browsing and bulk http downloads for example just fine, 
but a git pull using git:// will kill the device (no more traffic) until 
the driver is removed and re-inserted.

I posted on the iw3945 list and made a bug on the iwlwifi bugzilla and 
made available a usermode app that will provoke the failure but didn't 
hear anything since a month
