Comment 12 for bug 258485

For those of you running intrepid, if you could try the follwing that would be great:

1) Please try installing the linux-backports-modules-intrepid package to see if it helps as it contains an updated compat-wireless stack.
2) If that doesn't work, some iwlwifi patches have been marking their way into a few Stable Release Updates for the Intrepid kernel. If you could test the kernel that's in intrepid-proposed that would be great. Make sure linux-backports-modules-intrepid is uninstalled before trying the intrepid-proposed kernel. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Be sure to use "intrepid-proposed" not "hardy-proposed".

Please let us know your results of the above tests. Thanks.
