Comment 33 for bug 276990

I can confirm that the drivers at http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6/2008/10/compat-wireless-2008-10-01.tar.bz2 make all my crashes go away, on my Thinkpad T61. Haven't tested with 802.11n yet, but I had frequent crashes with just 802.11g (there was a 802.11n AP close by, but I wasn't using it), and now I haven't had a crash in 1 hour of active file transfer.

For just iwlagn, you may want to edit the Makefile in the above tarball, you don't need to stuff in /usr/lib. Littering is a bad habbit.
