I've released version 0.2 of the IPWireless driver here: http://rodent.za.net/files/ipw-0.2.tar.gz

Changes this release:
*Semaphore hangs due to kernel badness.
*Converted all semaphores to spinlocks
*Using a tasklet for received data to get around tty_flip brokenness.
*SMP safe.
*Fixed a sparc endian-ness problem.

This should fix slobbargoat's weird hang under high load conditions.

I'm still too lazy/tired to have gotten round to a fullblown kernel patch yet, so the driver's build instructions at http://rodent.za.net/MyLinuxDrivers will have to be followed.
