[Bug 300693] Re: Thinkpad T61p hardlock flashing caps lock

Cut from there:

System lock-ups with Intel 4965 wireless

The version of the iwlagn wireless driver for Intel 4965 wireless
chipsets included in Linux kernel version 2.6.27 causes kernel panics
when used with 802.11n or 802.11g networks. Users affected by this issue
can install the linux-backports-modules-intrepid package, to install a
newer version of this driver that corrects the bug. (Because the known
fix requires a new version of the driver, it is not expected to be
possible to include this fix in the main kernel package.)

As recommended, I did 'apt-get install backports-modules-intrepid' and I
rebooted. That was around 1 hour ago, and I haven't seen any issues
since. Hopefully that was it. BTW, when the Caps Lock light blinks, it
means 'kernel panic'. Who knew.
