Hi,

I'm using ubuntu jaunty with 2.6.29.3 mainline build:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.29.3/

And from time to time get this:

Could you please try this patch? It can be found in 2.6.30 and applies
with some fuzz to 2.6.29. If it works for you then we can look into
backporting it to 2.6.29.

Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: update key flags at time key is set

We need to be symmetrical in what is done when key is set and cleared.
This is important wrt the key flags as they are used during key
clearing and if they are not set when the key is set the key cannot be
cleared completely.

This addresses the many occurences of the WARN found in
iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info() and tracked in
http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=iwl_set_dynamic_key

If calling iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info()/iwl_remove_dynamic_key()
pair a few times in a row will cause that we run out of key space.
This is because the index stored in the key flags is used by
iwl_remove_dynamic_key() to decide if it should remove the key.
Unfortunately the key flags, and hence the key index is currently only
set at the time the key is written to the device (in
iwl_update_tkip_key()) and _not_ in iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info().
Fix this by setting flags in iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info().

I'm running on 2.6.30-rc6 for one day now, which I believe contains the mentioned
patch and I could not trigger the warning yet.
Not sure if this is enough evidence that the mentioned patch solved my issue ;-)
However, something probably did.
