"up to date core except kernel26, linux-firmware and nvidia from testing" is wrong package version description.
Are you using kernel26-2.6.35.2-1 and linux-firmware-20100807-1 ?
Did you report it at bugzilla.kernel.org ?
Comment by Andreas Neiser (aneiser) - Wednesday, 18 August 2010, 14:01 GMT
Excuse me, I was using (exactly as you guessed):
kernel26-2.6.35.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
linux-firmware-20100807-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
<del>nvidia-utils-256.44-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz</del>
nvidia-256.44-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
I reported it upstream: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16619

It's a problem when using channels 12 or 13 (so specific to European countries). See here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16462

Do you think this bug is related? http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20542

@Can: Well, don't know exactly, but it seems they changed a lot in 2.6.35. File a bug report upstream and the intel developers will help you. You can try if your wireless becomes stable when using channel 11 or below, since my problem is highly correlated to which channel I use.
Comment by Can Celasun (dcelasun) - Saturday, 21 August 2010, 08:18 GMT
@Andreas: My AP is using channel 1 (2.412 GHz). Is there a channel that you know to be stable?
Comment by Andreas Neiser (aneiser) - Saturday, 21 August 2010, 09:31 GMT
@Can: For me channel 11 works, but I'm using different hardware. I don't think that your problem is related to mine, so I recommend that you file a new bug upstream and leave a link in the bug report here in this tracker...

Yeah, seems like a different problem, but a lot of things seem to be broken with 2.6.35. I've already reported it upstream: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16691

Original submitter's upstream bug is closed. Bug mentioned by Calesun is filed here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20542 . I suppose this can be closed?
