hmm, it should not happen, are you still seeing this in the latest
driver? if does, could you load the driver with debug flag = 0x43fff to
help us understand what is happening?

We are in the process of re-architect and improve the flexible and
quality of our existing driver. As today, "iwlwifi" should the same as
"iwlagn" and you can use either one (iwlwifi or iwlagn), "iwlagn" just
an alias of "iwlwifi". Moving forward, we will deprecate the "iwlagn"
name after we complete the implementation of next generation of Intel
WiFi driver.
