[Bug 924099] Re: 8086:4236 iwlagn kernel module must disable n-support to work with Intel 5300 wireless card

 

bjarne holen, 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 (not the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. 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-v3.12

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:
  8086:4236 iwlagn kernel module must disable n-support to work with
  Intel 5300 wireless card

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Version Ubuntu 11.10

  802.11-n support is not implemented fully. enabeling it (as Ubuntu
  does by default) causes the driver for the wireless card to  struggle,
  every 30 minutes or so, the wireless network drops your connections,
  and promtes you for password, and all sorts of fun things start
  happening.

  disable the 802.11-n support by passing this option to the driver

  
  echo "options iwlagn 11n_disable=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn.conf

  
  should fix the problem
