Description:
wireless connections keep disconnecting, once disconnected they will refuse to reconnect until system is rebooted. I used to have rock solid wireless connections on 2.6.31. According to dmesg, I am hitting some WARN_ON's that seem to be causing this problem. I am using an intel 496

Additional info:
* package version(s) 2.6.32
* config and/or log files etc.

wicd log shows the following :

Please report this to upstream if not already reported. Send to LKML or bugzilla with a CC to the maintainer of the driver. Thanks.

Moved the bug to the iwlagn project, here http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2134
Looks however to be a wicd bug, filed a bug for it at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/wicd/+bug/495369
Comment by Anish Bhatt (anish) - Wednesday, 16 December 2009, 08:57 GMT
Unexpected behaviour on wicd's part was causing WARN_ON's to be hit. bug fixed upstream in kernel with patch http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=24187
Could we see this patch in the testing package ?
Comment by Anish Bhatt (anish) - Wednesday, 23 December 2009, 03:16 GMT
