A user on the openSUSE forum reports that the connection drops frequently when
using 802.11n on a 5300 with a 2.6.34 kernel. It is deauthenticated for reason
6. He was able to stabilize the connection by disabling N mode. I think he used
"options iwlagn 11n_disable=1 11n_disable50=1".
Is this a known problem? Would the situation be improved by using
compat-wireless? If so, is "bleeding-edge" needed?
Thanks,
Larry

I could be the same "tid not match" problem we seen on 2.6.35, but
different behavior. We are really working hard and try to release the
experimental versoin of the uCode; but we have to pass the regulatory
first which cause delay. I understand the need for it and I am working
my best to push it happen ASAP.
Thanks

It's fu* known problem. Intel doesn't seem to care about users, they
have fixed firmware but didn't decide to release it for 2 months.

We do care very much, really sorry the delay. we need to pass regulatory
before we can release it. I am doing everything I can to move the
process as fast as it can.

What about now? After another month of waiting? I'd love to replace
that Intel but it's integrated.
If it takes so long to pass regulatory, maybe Intel should change sth?
Right now?
There is just another user complaining for that:
