Subjectiwlagn completely unusable with some AP since 2.6.31
From
Dear all,

(please cc)

Since AFAIR 2.6.32-rc the iwlagn driver seems to be completely hosed
with some AP. Permanently dropping connections, hanging, BUGing.
Unfortunately the only reply I get from iwl maintainers is "do git bisect"
which is a bit a pain with someting that is not stable reproducible.

It seems that since git is used *some* developers are relying on git
bisect instead of thinking what their code might do. I remember faintly
that Linus opposed the idea of kernel-debug for long time due to that
reasons, now we have it, answer is: We cannot reproduce, please bisect.

Here is a log of the most recent, I sent already many many different ones
to the ipw devel list, all without reasonable answer.

I would expect that all these warning messages and WARNINGS would at
least trigger some action like adding debug statements or whatsoever,
but alas, it didn't, and that since 32-pre.

and here it continues with many many many of those two lines. The only
way to resurrect the wifi card is unloading iwlagn and reloading it.

I have no idea where to go from here, I always thought that WARNINGS and
serious errors like that (complete drop of connection in irregular
intervals, sometimes several times in few minutes, sometimesonce an
hour) would trigger some action.

Hope someone is picking that up, thanks.

Best wishes

Norbert
