I would be interested if anyone else with an iwl4965 driver tries
the new driver/firmware and sees their machine lock up from time to time.
In the presence of certain wireless access points (mostly in
Fermilab's Feynman Computing CenteR) my machine locks
up after about 10 minutes, unless I turn my wireless kill switch off.
In other situations mine is fine.

Hello,
There is a new security kernel out for SL5.
It is based off the new kernel from Update 3, and hense, has all it's
changes, including driver updates.
I'm still a little nervous about pushing this out, so I'd like it to be
tested a bit more.
One of the new changes that it has is updated Intel Wireless drivers.
I have the Updated Firmware for these in the same testing area.
I have also included new Intel Firmware we didn't have before, because it
appeared to have the drivers in the kernel now.
I also have the new aufs in that directory.
To test
SL5
