dmesg (ipw2100: wlp1s4: Failed to start the firmware)
dmesg with "ipw2100: wlp1s4: Failed to start the firmware", got it few minutes after reboot, very lucky. Message means - wifi no longer works, has to reboot machine. I will add syslog

Ubuntu related bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/baltix/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/24776 Maybe you should loop in linuxwifi@intel.com realistically, this won't be fixed. We don't support this driver, and even less the firmware of this 13 year old device. You can try to contact its maintainer though. If you do not want support device, it would be fair to release firmware source code for this device. I did not know Intel blocking fixing old hardware issues, forcing people to buy new hardware. I am on xubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and I am experiencing the same issue. kernel: 4.4.190 device: Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04) In my case the wifi card seems to freeze my pc after a random amount of time, and it seems to do so during high workloads (such as downloading a large file), but not always. In my case I activated the debug option via putting ipw2100.debug=32 kernel parameter at boot time (I compiled the kernel with support for this option), since this path "/proc/net/ipw2100/debug_level" would not work on ubuntu (at least in my experience). I am appending a syslog that goes from pc boot to the relevant crash. I am available to provide more info as needed. It's unfortunate that a card that shows itself to be capable to connecting me to the web seems to have such a detrimental bug that basically renders the card completely unreliable.

syslog from boot to crash due to ipw2100
extract from my syslog that shows a complete log of one session that goes from pc boot to the pc crashing due to the wifi card (crashes are only there when the wifi card is activated)
