[Bug 997883] Re: Intel WiFi Link 5300 doesn't work with kernel 3.2.0.24
Adam Drescher, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:
apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>
Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5
This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
Intel WiFi Link 5300 doesn't work with kernel 3.2.0.24
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
A couple of days ago, I upgraded to not only Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but also from kernel 3.0.0.17 to 3.2.0.24. This worked correctly at my friends house just fine. However, I flew home and now my computer cannot ping or connect to the internet at all. (Both of these were wireless networks). I switched to my windows partition of my computer, and it connected to the internet no issues.
So the problem was isolated to ubuntu.
My computer is a Dell Studio XPS which is about 3 years old now. The
WiFi adapter is an Intel WiFi Link 5300. This will play into the game
later.
After a couple of hours searching around and talking to people, a few
things were unearthed. First, that a dhcp lease was obtained from the
router. Other than that, the computer could not communicate with
anything on the network (no ping even). All of the /etc/hosts,
/etc/hostname, and /etc/network/interfaces stuff was in order. There
was nothing abnormal in any of the logs that were checked.
With the help of some googling, someone pointed out that it sounded remarkably like what was happening in this thread. DHCP lease acquired, no transmission after that. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/420678
This was for the Intel Wifi Link 5300. That is my adapter. It must be conflicting between the G and N standards from the Linksys WRT310N router here at home, and it must not have had that conflict at the previous house I was at. I booted into a previous version of the kernel (3.0.0.17) and there was no issue (that's actually how I'm typing this right now). I performed a "sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic" to make sure the kernel was correct, and the error repeated after a restart. Once again, I booted into the previous version of the kernel, and it worked correctly.
If there is any differing conclusion about what happened, feel free to
let me know!
Just to verify the version claim, my "lsb_release -rd" output is:
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
Here is the "lspci -vvxxx" result for the network adapter:
