Comment 1 for bug 285128

Hi Joe,

Care to first test the newer 2.6.27-7.12 kernel which resolved bug 263059 . If the issue still exists, then care to then try installing the linux-backports-modules package? It most recently pulled in an updated wireless stack from upstream:

linux-backports-modules-2.6.27 (2.6.27-7.3) intrepid; urgency=low

  [Tim Gardner]

  * Added iwlwifi firmware
  * Added the upstream compat-wireless-2.6 tree.
  * Updated compat-wireless to wireless-testing tag master-2008-10-14
  * Set CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY=y by default.

Please let us know your results. Thanks.
