I'm having problems with my wireless card using the ipw2100 module on 2.6.19-ARCH. When I use my wireless card and start downloading files or streaming video I lose my internet connection. With casual browsing everything I don't lose my connection. This seems to happen only when I reach high download speeds with my card (200KB/s +). I didn't have this problem before w/ earlier Arch releases.
When I check dmesg I see the following:
ipw2100: Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart.
Every time I lose my connection when downloading I will see the above message.
Has anyone else had this problem? How do I enable debug output so I can get better details on the problem?

I have the same problem.
The only workaround for now is to reload the module ipw2100 (modprobe).
This seems to be a known problem:

I mailed the driver contact at Intel with a link to this page and to their bugzilla link I gave above, just saying that a lot of people had problems and were keen to contribute to a fix if we could.
I got a mail back saying:-
"A community member recently backported a fix for RX overrruns in the ipw2200 driver. I assume the same problem may exist in the ipw2100
driver. If you are interested you can try to backport the fix to the ipw2100 driver ... details are here:
