Windows uses an 8K stack I believe, so some Windows drivers use more
than the 4K that Linux allocates which causes obvious problems.

That shouldn't be necessary with the ipw3945 card - Intel has been very
good recently about providing real open source drivers for their gear
and getting them integrated upstream in the kernel and X.org.
