until then, I already made a mini-script to reload the module and restart networkmanager just in case.Once you download your new driver, then you need to install it. I might try downgrading to 2.6.26 to check if it works as soon as I get some free time to play with this.

I think it might have something to do with the state of the module in kernel 2.6.27. These are from the release notes of Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10). A future kernel update is expected to address this issue. As a workaround, users should boot the system with the killswitch disabled. On laptops with Intel 3945 or Intel 4965 wireless chipsets and a killswitch for the wireless antenna, starting the system with the killswitch enabled (i.e., with wireless disabled) will prevent re-enabling the wireless by toggling the killswitch. (Because the known fix requires a new version of the driver, it is not expected to be possible to include this fix in the main kernel package.)Ĭannot reactivate Intel 3945/4965 wireless if booting with killswitch enabled Users affected by this issue can install the linux-backports-modules-intrepid package, to install a newer version of this driver that corrects the bug. The version of the iwlagn wireless driver for Intel 4965 wireless chipsets included in Linux kernel version 2.6.27 causes kernel panics when used with 802.11n or 802.11g networks.

I already reinstalled the previous kernel without results. On the other hand, it happened a couple of times that I just lost the device (the module quit working in the middle of a session).
