FE41S wireless strange shutdown

hy all!

I have a strange problem with my FE41S under windows VISTA. Sometime the wireless (Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG) shutdown (the green led switch off) and i can't power on it. I must reboot my notebook if i want to use wireless again (and in this case the reboot is very long (in fact the power off is very long)). This problem seems appears more often when I transfer big file (for example when i download a music from itune or when I transfer file on my network via wireless).

I have upgrade with the latest intel driver for vista.
I have try to change power setting for the wireless adapter.

But nothing change!!

Can somebody help me?

Thanks

I have look the windows log anf i have found that i have a lot of NETw4v32 error! So i have search with google and i have found that a lot of people have the same problem than us!!! :dizzy: Take a look over there : http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/469092836/m/941000804831

SO as they said in this page, i come back to 10.6.0.X version of intel driver for the 3945ABG card and now my wireless shutdown alone like before but now i can reactivate it (reboot is not needed anymore)

So it seems to be a driver issue and i will waiting for a new version from intel!! :skull: :dizzy:
