Subject: Re: iwlagn regression in v3.1.5

Hi,

i haven't experienced firmware crushes, but after that commit i don't 
get any networking with my wlan card. I added some lspci and dmesg 
output to the patch. There was no strange output in my dmesg. dhcpcd 
says in logs, that carrier lost after about 30 seconds. How can i 
reproduce the HT40 bug?

Regards,
Andrej
