Re: [Bugme-new] [Bug 11596] New: iwlagn driver in latest linux-2.6 git is not working for intel 4965agn card

[Chris <dchris@gmail.com>]

I don't think it was broken that recently though. I experienced the
same problem with ubuntu kernel :
2.6.27-2.3

Which apparently was based on git and was released on :
Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:03:05 -0400

Best regards,
Chris.
