Bug Description
Wireless had always (for years) worked great on my laptop (Thinkpad T61), until I switched from openSUSE to Ubuntu Lucid few days ago.
Since then, my wifi connection has been very unstable, always flapping. Randomly but as frequent as every 3 or 4 minutes, it disconnects and reconnects. It is of course extremely annoying.
My card :
% lspci | grep Wireless
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
Please find the daemon, dmesg and syslog logs attached below.
I tried installing the backported modules without any more luck.
Thank you in advance for your help. This is the only issue I am having so far on this great distro :)

The bug is still there and extremely annoying. I have tried all possible tips I found on forums or previous bug reports :
- deactivate hardware encryption (modprobe iwlagn swcrypto=1)
- tried all kind of encryption combinations (WPA2 only, WPA only, TKIP, AES, WPA+WPA2, etc, except WEP)
I can't understand why there is such a regression with such old and common hardware.
