You probably want to address this to linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org
instead...

intel wireless just doesn't work on linux 2.6.24.4; wait for 2.6.25.x stable.

I hope, then, that Linux 2.6.25.x stable will be out sooner than 24th 
april (Hardy release date) otherwise I (and I guess also many other 
people) will be in a very bad spot until the kernel is updated...(I am 
not proficient enough so to compile a whole Linux kernel for my distro).
Thank you very much for your attention, in any case.
Greetings

Hello, Luca!

I'm replying to your message that didn't come to be through a mailing  
list.  Please don't bcc: random people.  It's a bad style.

Quoting Luca Venturini <lucventurini@gmail.com>:

2.6.25.1 will be out after the first bug is fixed in Linux 2.6.25.  I  
cannot promise you that any such bug would exist.  Actually, I hope  
that there will be no reason for 2.6.25.1 release.

In any case, putting pressure on wireless developers is not  
appreciated.  Maybe you should learn how to compile Linux kernels.  Or  
maybe you should talk to Ubuntu release engineers and ask them not to  
wait for 2.6.25.1 (provided that your implication is correct and they  
would wait).

Or perhaps Ubuntu could learn from Debian and do releases when the
software is in a good state rather than at specific predetermined
release dates.  Or fix the bugs themselves and contribute them upstream.

Strangely I find with the 2.6.24 kernel currently in Debian, the intel
wireless seemed to work great with WPA2 (at least on a 4965).  Maybe
that was 2.6.24.2 or 2.6.24.3 or something.  It was a couple of weeks
ago now.  I haven't heard of the 4935 before.

(I hope I am not making again something rude posting here, and if this 
is the case, I apologize; I am sorry, but this is the first time ever I 
write directly to Linux developers, and I am unsure of how to behave.)

I thank everybody for your help and understanding. I will try to contact 
Ubuntu developers and ask about current situation for this issue. In the 
meantime, Filippo Zangheri of the Linux team was so kind as to give me 
detailed instructions on how to install the latest modules for intel 
wireless cards, so hopefully I will patch the problem well enough so to 
actually update my box...and see if developers have indeed addressed the 
problem in the meantime.

Thank you again, and keep up the awesome work!

Since nobody has mentioned that, it's possible to compile the latest
wireless drivers for the current kernel (starting with 2.6.18) thanks to
the compat-wireless package:

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download

That should be of great help for those looking to use the latest
wireless drivers without having to recompile the currently used kernel.
