anyone else see this?

I found it mentioned by some other people as an ipw2200 firmware bug
found the answer

the crypto support in the driver causes this disconnect on transmit and disconnects every so often - to disable the hardware crypto
create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ I made one called ipw2200 and add this line to it

options ipw2200 hwcrypto=0



sorry if this is a repost
