Package: firmware-iwlwifi Version: 0.9 Followup-For: Bug #460578 I had the same problem: mine it's related to dhcp (no binding). I was not able to understand the root cause, but I found this workaround:
# ifconfig wlan0 up # iwlist wlan0 scan After this two commands a `dhclient wlan0' works correctly. After this I'm able to do 'ifup/ifdown wlan0' without any problems.
