Comment 8 for bug 283212

Indeed, it looks like I no longer experience kernel panics since I installed backport modules.

This is good but it is still a pity that it cannot be included in intrepid kernel. This is a really annoying issue and it took me time to find help and fix the problem. Intel wireless is widely used and 802.11n will be widely spread soon...

Anyway, intel wireless will fail to connect to 802.11n APs for most users of 2.6.27 kernel due to this bug:

Only solution seems to disable WMM feature for now... And they you get kernel panic unless you use backport modules... Hard times for 802.11n users having intel wireless on Linux.
