This is great news to me - my new Sager laptop has a 5300 card. However,
it doesn't seem to work:

iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, 1.3.27ks
iwlagn: Copyright(c) 2003-2008 Intel Corporation
iwlagn 0000:07:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17

iwlagn: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5300AGN REV=0x24
iwlagn: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 24 802.11a channels
phy7: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-agn-rs'

iwlagn 0000:07:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
iwlagn: START_ALIVE timeout after 4000ms.

I have the microcode in /lib/firmware, and the kernel/driver source is
the latest from iwlwifi-2.6.git. What else should I provide for
debugging?
