Subject: Re: iwlagn regression in v3.1.5

Hi,

The patch fixes the following bug:
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2326

If the patch introduces a regression for you, then the problem needs to be
investigated further. Reverting the patch will reintroduce an already fixed
problem for others.

Cheers,

	- Udo
