Description: Post Kernel 2.6.38.8-1 iwlagn is broken for Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N + WiMAX 6150 (rev 67)


Additional info:
* package version(s)
Any kernel past 2.6.38.8-1 so (kernel26) still, wlan0 falls to come up at all. It scans and attempts to associate with a wireless network. This is also broken in kernels in other Distros too (Debian Sid).

* config and/or log files etc.
[ 1102.642491] wlan0: direct probe to e0:91:f5:75:41:62 (try 1/3)

[ 1103.041596] wlan0: direct probe to e0:91:f5:75:41:62 (try 3/3)
[ 1103.241569] wlan0: direct probe to e0:91:f5:75:41:62 timed out
[ 1106.791965] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

Steps to reproduce:

Install ANY kernel past the following.

I am marking it high severity because its a complete loss of Wireless Functionality. There also may be further errors and output in dmesg that I am missing.
This task depends upon

Oops! Can someone please change it from extra to core? I messed it up

If this is broken in other distros, then it's not an Arch bug, it's an upstream bug [1]. The best thing to do is to report it to the iwlagn folks [2]. They're the ones who can fix it. :)

iwlagn is broken on a number of chips, there are several such reports on this bugtracker.
