Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.24
I have just bought a new router (TP-LINK WR841N : 802.11n) as well as the following PCI wifi card:
Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)
On Hardy, when connecting to the router, I get the following dmesg output:
[ 59.289559] wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0
[ 59.289573] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:1d:0f:33:7e:ec

The association is successful and the connection works but the "Wireless Event too big (366)" error worries me a little. Also, It only connects at 54Mbps (against 130Mbps on Windows Vista with same settings and hardware):
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"chris" Nickname:""
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=27 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B
Power Management:off
Link Quality=100/100 Signal level=-48 dBm Noise level=-96 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0

Note that I have also tried intrepid twice:
- with 2.6.26 kernel, no change at all except that my Wifi LED is working and crashes from time to time (all LEDs ON). Same speed: 54Mbps
- with new 2.6.27 kernel, a little change: The wifi LED is working and crashes from time to time (all LEDs ON). The speed is not stable and it moves between 34Mpbs and 60 Mbps.
With all kernels, I get the wireless too big event. I will happy to provide more information if necessary.

I have just tried intrepid alpha5 live CD and I have sad news. I'm no longer able to connect to my router.
In fact, it looks like the association is successful but there is no DHCP. So I tried to use a static IP but it does not matter, If I do so I'm not even able to ping other machines on my network.
I'm joining logs and information.
$ uname -a

$iwconfig (when trying to get an IP, before network manager gives up and disconnects):

It displays abgn but it is still 54Mbps and wifi connection is not even working.
