Package: firmware-iwlwifi Version: 0.24 Severity: normal Hiho!
I've read several bug reports about this and it seems always related to 11N in some way, so I tried loading the iwlagn module via modprobe iwlagn 11n_disable50=1 And found that this helps. (On a Lenovo Thinkpad W500 with a 5300AGN REV=0x24) Of course not being able to use draft 11 is somewhat unsatisfactory, but at least I get a stable connection this way. I currently put the following lines ,----[ /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn-bug ] # workaround for http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=550534 options iwlagn 11n_disable50=1 `---- into /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn-bug since it doesn't look like this will go away soon. I know that workarounds like this have a tendency to work only for some people, but maybe this will help others. Downgrading to the previous firmware was *not* a reliable workaround for me. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'karmic'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash firmware-iwlwifi depends on no packages. firmware-iwlwifi recommends no packages.
