Bug#606762: linux-2.6: intermittent wifi dropouts with iwlagn driver

[David Banks <amoebae@gmail.com>]

Since first reporting this bug I have now found a workaround, though it's not
nice.  Disabling Wireless-N mode on the router and switching back to B/G mixed
mode made the problem go away.  I am using DD-WRT firmware on the router, which
is a D-Link DIR-615.  I noticed the problem went away when I was outside my
house in a G-only network.  Coincidentally one of my friends has the exact same
model of router (it's given away free by the largest ISP here in the UK), but he
uses the stock firmware, also in Wireless-N mode.  When I used my laptop at
his house the problem manifested again.  However, I have not tested with any
other model of Wireless-N capable router.

So the problem is either all Wireless-N support in this driver, or a problem
with the Wireless-N support in the hardware of this router model.
