Bug#460578: firmware-iwlwifi: workaround found
Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Version: 0.9
Followup-For: Bug #460578
I had the same problem: mine it's related to dhcp (no binding). I was
not able to understand the root cause, but I found this workaround:
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# iwlist wlan0 scan
After this two commands a `dhclient wlan0' works correctly. After this
I'm able to do 'ifup/ifdown wlan0' without any problems.
Hope this helps others.
