OK so maybe my card is getting bad after all. It's from a HP DV2140
laptop, and I noticed you message to this list some time ago about HP
repair program, I actually got a mail from HP the other day, regarding this.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lspci -vv -d :4312

Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort-

I will boot into an older kernel and see if I see the same behavior.
Next step will be to also compile a new kernel with ssb and b43
debugging on.
