Check the kernel config file for the above kernel, and make sure that the following two options are set for the iwlwifi driver. # # Debugging Options # CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG=y CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS=y And that there is debugging for mac80211 as well. CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS=y CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU=y CONFIG_MAC80211_NOINLINE=y CONFIG_MAC80211_VERBOSE_DEBUG=y CONFIG_MAC80211_HT_DEBUG=y CONFIG_MAC80211_TKIP_DEBUG=y CONFIG_MAC80211_IBSS_DEBUG=y CONFIG_MAC80211_VERBOSE_PS_DEBUG=y CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS=y CONFIG_MAC80211_DRIVER_API_TRACER=y If they’re not set – you’ll have to resort to compiling the kernel with debugging enabled. > > 2) A wireless sniffer log would also be useful (not sure you're in a > > position to gather this log). > > I fear I have no experience with sniffers.

Don’t worry about this for now. Try to get debugging information for the iwlwifi driver, mac80211, and network-manager (if possible). Also, what kernel version is your Ubuntu 10.10 system using?
