The latest version I've tried that works fine is Linus' 2.6.31-rc3
with the latest commit being:

commit 35b5c55fee08e6e4001ba98060a2d0b82f70b5f4
Merge: e9e961c... b2dde6a...
Author: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
Date: Wed Jul 15 10:29:09 2009 -0700

I encountered the problem I described when I booted:

2.6.31-rc3-next-20090716

Odd...have you (i.e. Noah) been using -next trees all along? What was
the last previous one that worked? I didn't push anything out for
-next to pick-up all last week...

That's cool, but it is a bit "apples and oranges"... What was the
last -next version that was working for you?

Mine says 78af08d90b8f745044b1274430bc4bc6b2b27aca which is later than
yours. Wireless working with iwl4965 including WPA2.

Yeh, sorry--I forgot to mention I'm just now getting started
with linux-next, so I haven't successfully used wireless with
linux-next. I began to do a bisect and got preempted by the
weekend.
