Heya!

Bumped my kernel to version 2.6.35-rc3-00391-g97e0214 and ran into
HARDWARE GONE error message..

Hardware is Lenovo x60s and wireless card is intel 3945:

03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation ThinkPad R60e/X60s
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 47
Memory at edf00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [d0] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [e0] Express Legacy Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
Capabilities: [140] Device Serial Number 00-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

I have attached dmesg error message...

We've been seeing this sort of thing a lot -- somehow the iwl3945 gets
disconnected from the PCI bus. Anyone have any clue how that happens?

Usually this kind of problem is a power management issue.

Wonder if somehow an ACPI power resource powering the wireless card got
switched off? What previous kernel version was working, can you try
bisecting?

Bisecting is a bit hard, because I haven't seen this issue anymore :(
