Hi,

I updated today to 3.4.83 kernel and my wireless card stop working (log
says: iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Unable to initialize device).

My laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad X230, with an Intel 6205 AGN card.

Reverting patch
     Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>
        iwlwifi: always copy first 16 bytes of commands
makes it work again.

Regards,
Andres Bertens
