When I had the madwifi SVN drivers installed, some time after suspend (2
minutes? 3 days?) it would kill my wireless connection with:

[224591.060000] wifi0: rx FIFO overrun; resetting
[224593.612000] wifi0: rx FIFO overrun; resetting
[224595.728000] wifi0: rx FIFO overrun; resetting
[224598.384000] wifi0: rx FIFO overrun; resetting
[224600.320000] wifi0: rx FIFO overrun; resetting
[224601.848000] wifi0: rx FIFO overrun; resetting
[224603.812000] wifi0: rx FIFO overrun; resetting
[224606.468000] wifi0: rx FIFO overrun; resetting

I could recover the wireless by suspending and waking up the Thinkpad
again.

Keep in mind I'm using the AR5418 which is not supported by the stock
Feisty madwifi drivers, and I needed to use SVN to make it work at all.

I have not received this message once since "upgrading" from Madwifi
wireless drivers to ndiswrapper.  Nor has my connection gone down, nor
have I experienced any of the other ill effects of using madwifi with
the AR5418 card (missing APs, random disconnections, etc.)

Not a perfect solution, of course, but I'd totally forgotten about this
bug since moving to ndiswrapper.
