Hi,

I am using the latest Lubuntu 16.10 with fairly recent kernel

ljw@hideo:~$ uname -a
Linux hideo 4.8.0-30-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Dec 2 03:43:33 UTC 2016 i686 
i686 i686 GNU/Linux

on an old Toshiba laptop (Satellite Pro U200) equipped with an Intel 
PRO/Wireless 3945ABG adapter

ljw@hideo:~$ lspci | grep ireless
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] 
Network Connection (rev 02)

The wireless network crashes once in a while with no apparent reason with the 
following log entries:

Dec 18 17:23:42 hideo kernel: [94900.863133] iwl3945 0000:02:00.0: loaded 
firmware version 15.32.2.9
Dec 18 17:23:42 hideo kernel: [94900.913626] iwl3945 0000:02:00.0: BSM uCode 
verification failed at addr 0x00003800+0 (of 900), is 0xa5a5a5a2, s/b 0xf802020
Dec 18 17:23:42 hideo kernel: [94900.913633] iwl3945 0000:02:00.0: Unable to 
set up bootstrap uCode: -5

This problem has been reported several times on different mailing lists and 
community portals all over the Internet, nevertheless I was not able to locate 
the right fix for it.

The workaround suggested elswhere (restarting the network-manager when the 
problem occurs) works with my setup.

Could you please suggest the solution to the problem? Alternatively, where 
should I file the bug to get it fixed?

Thank you very much in advance,
Lukasz Walewski
