Subject2.6.28-rc4: iwlagn / 5100 state
Hello!

Using that kernel I see the following features / bugs:

- loading the firmware "freezes" the system for a few seconds
- setting the link up of wlan0 "freezes" the system for a few seconds
- connecting to 802.11b/g works (802.11a is untested)
- roaming does *NOT* work -> just looses the AP, does not connect
to other AP with same essid
- connecting to a ap sometimes does not work, though essid is set
-> sometimes it helps to specify "ap <addr>"
-> sometimes setting down and up the link helps
-> with earlier kernels one sometimes needed to rmmod and insmod
the module again, so there is some progress :-)

So far it is somehow usable, though the connection problems and missing
roaming is a bit painful.

Sincerly,

Nico
