Intel WiFi Link 5150ABG - connection broken or freezing when transferring large files

[RussianNeuroMancer]

When I transfer large files (few Gb for example) wifi connection can be broken or freezing. If this happened - I can't connect to AP until reboot the system.

Hi RussianNeuroMancer,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Tested with 2.6.34rc5 - I can't just connect to AP, if 802.11n-only mode enabled! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/560230

After -22 or -23 kernel updatre for Lucid I can not reproduce this bug anymore. Looks like already fixed.
