I know that 'n' has problems in later drivers than in kernel 2.6.26, so I am trying to graft the 2.6.26 drivers into the 2.6.27 kernel. Source: > http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-2.6.git;a=summary If you want the driver with TX aggregation support then you need to use the iwl5000 branch ( http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=iwl5000 ) > I moved the regular Ubuntu kernel 2.6.27.10's iwlwifi directory elsewhere, and copied in Reinette's. But it will not compile, inexplicably: The branch is based on kernel 2.6.26. If you do not want to give up your current kernel you can take a look how compat-wireless works ... but it is actually intended to take the most recent wireless-testing to work with your current kernel, not an older kernel in itself as what can be found in the iwl5000 branch. I think the easiest will be to use the iwl5000 branch on its own. Reinette
