Subject: 2.6.30-rc3: iwlagn probe timeouts (regression)

Hi,

In earlier 2.6.30 (rc1 and 2) kernel tests I suffered the "beacon loss,
sending probe request" problem, during which my connection would
intermittently fail and reconnect. With the latest git kernel which
seems to include a patch (ad935687dbe7307f5abd9e3f610a965a287324a9) for
at least some of this, my card (Intel 5300AGN REV=0x24) completely fails
to associate and I get:

I do not have any similar problems with 2.6.29 or 2.6.28 at the exact
same physical location.

I can try to bisect in a day or two if need be.

Regards,
Niel
