Subject: Re: iwlagn is getting very shaky

Hi Wey,

so I am now at the university, and it seems your last patch
did wonder. Here a log after waking up from suspend at university...

THe AP is a big Cisco one, more I cannot see, with 3 antenna.

For the NIC, what do you want to know:
wlan0     IEEE 802.11abgn  ESSID:"XXXXXXXXXX"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:24:C4:AB:BD:E0   
          Bit Rate=72.2 Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=51/70  Signal level=-59 dBm  
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:685  Invalid misc:59   Missed beacon:0

The last line looks interesting, excessive retires: 685, INvalid misc: 59


Note that the "Tx excessive retries" increase steaadily and radically,
downloading updates with aptitude I see afterwards:
	Tx excessive retries:17922

The "Invalid misc" also increase, but slowly.

Well, for the time being the patch is nice and helps, thanks!

If you want me to test more please let me know, but I am leaving
today for some business trip and will be back on Wednesday at 
work here.

Best wishes
