Comment 145 for bug 286285

My wireless adapter is connecting smoothly after suspend. I did notice that NetworkManager took a bit longer than usual to detect my network and connect to it, but everything is as before for me except for the very visible absense of a kernel panic. I am running an Intel 4965 abgn card, too, aboard and Asus F8SV-A1 notebook.
The wifi status light still does not light up after resuming from sleep for me, as usual. Other people seem to report different outcomes with that light, so it could be some vendor-specific tweeks on my end.

Who were the changes in iwlagn supposed to benefit? I recall reading somewhere (perhaps here...) that the change was meant to help someone, with unexpected side-effects for some existing users. Is that true?
If so, we REALLY need to find some people who iwlagn worked for in Intrepid and ask them to apply the proposed update.

Further, I think it's important to stress that this patch should be pushed to stable ASAP and Ubuntu's images rebuilt (possibly after a few more bugs like this one are resolved). At the least, something Needs To Be added to the release notes. Shipping with a system crasher like this is very, very bad. Shipping with a system crasher like this after one month (let alone two) is suicidal.
With this bug it is entirely possible that someone could be installing Ubuntu from the live CD and have the thing kernel panic while writing to his MBR. That would be really bad.
