Some people do need the backports, though, in which case the temporary
solution is to stick to the 2.6.27-7.4 version as stated earlier. BTW,
if you encounter a complete system freeze 5 minutes after starting a
wireless connection (which happens only with particular networks),
reinstall the backports :-)

still necessary right?

What do you want to get a backtrace of? You do a backtrace of a program
when it crashes, to determine what it was doing when things went wrong.
In this particular bug we don't have a crash. There is a mismatch
between the symbols in the iwl3945 module and those in the kernel, so
the kernel rejects loading the module (thankfully the kernel's smart; it
could indeed load it and crash the entire machine!). That's pretty much
diagnosed, the fix is to resynchronize the symbols referenced in the
backports modules with those in the current version of the kernel, so we
just need to wait for a developer in the kernel team to find some time
to fix it.
