@Peter, Good, that verifies that suspicion. The whole change was to prevent any allocation during the lifetime of the module. The problem could well be related with the graphics. This would also make the facts that not all with an ip2200 adapter see this problem and that the problem appeared without changes to the wireless adapter. The problem could be both, exhaustion or fragmentation. The original code in the ipw driver needs to allocate 6 consecutive pages of low memory. So either there is nothing left of just no area big enough. Although this might be related to changes somewhere else, there seem to be to cases of this. One seems to be related to suspend/resume where the firmware load initially fails, but can be done later by unloading and loading the modules. The other case (which interestingly seems to have no active reporters anymore) needed a reboot to get out of it. So yes, the could likely be a relation between i915 and this. There must be some cleanup or release now, just too late to get the wireless driver succeed with the limited retries it has. Now the question would be whether it makes sense to fortify the wireless driver against resource shortage or not...
