Bug Description

On a DELL E3500 with Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300.

with kernel 3.0.0-17-generic, installing backports-modules-cw 3.2 makes the iwlagn kernel module not loadable.

Kernel complains with tons of

iwlagn: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session

and similar stuff about disagreement on symbols.

The iwlagn module was merged with iwlwifi in kernel 3.2, so try loading iwlwifi.

I have a Dell XPS 15z and this is also happening to me I had to go back to 3.0.0-16. I hope this gets fixed soon.
