Care to do one more test. In the intrepid-proposed repository there is an newer linux-backports-modules-intrepid package that has a newer update of the compat-wireless stack ( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.27 ). To test the package in intrepid-proposed do the following:

1) cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
2) create a file "intrepid-proposed.list" which contains the following two lines (sudo vim intrepid-proposed.list):

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-proposed main
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-proposed main

3) sudo apt-get update
4) sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid
5) sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid-proposed.list
6) sudo apt-get update

Steps 5 and 6 basically undo the enabling of intrepid-proposed. Of course you'll finally need to reboot to test. Please let us know your results. If this issue still exists we'll want to work on reporting this to the upstream developers.

Additionally, I think you should also be able to manually compile and test the latest upstream development compat-wireless stack http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download since you're using the iwlagn driver. It would be great if you'd be willing to give this a test a well as I'm sure the upstream developers would appreciate feedback from the current development stack. Thanks.
