I'm using bios A07 on my Dell xps m1530. I get the same problem when I don't use noapic. So I turned on noapic and seems to work well.
But, this morning when I booted up (with the noapic option) I had no wireless (empty list of wireless access points). When I restarted the laptop, I got wireless again. I've searched into my syslog and I found these error messages:
May 25 11:25:57 tuxedo kernel: [ 44.948830] iwl3945: MAC is in deep sleep!
May 25 11:25:57 tuxedo kernel: [ 44.949246] iwl3945: Unable to int nic
May 25 11:25:57 tuxedo kernel: [ 44.949722] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:0b:00.0 disabled
It looks like there is still going something wrong with noapic in some rare cases.
