I am running Debian, and just upgraded my kernel to 2.6-18-5 and my wireless card stopped working, fine whatever. So i downloaded ieee80211 and ipw3945 and tried to compile them, didnt work, then i did a aptitude install ipw3945d ipw3945-source firmware-3945 module-assistant and it found my card, but every time i run dhclient eth2 my system locks up. I found another thread that said to run the aptitude install.... then m-a prepare, m-a a-i ipw3945 and modprobe ipw3945. I run those commands and dhclient doesnt lock up but i cant connect to my wireless AP. So i reboot, i get some error message about a bug i cant remember what it said. I go back to version 2.6-18-4 and run aptitude upgrade (something like that and it upgraded ipw3945) and i can now get into kernel 2.6-18-5, but it still wont connect. I removed everything (aptitude remove ipw3945d...) and reboot, but i still get some error messages in dmesg. Here they are
Code:

I've gone back to the ieee80211 source files and did a make uninstall but i still keep getting these messages and i thought i removed ipw495. Any suggestions?
