Independently of everything else: if you have hardware that squeeze's
2.6.32.y-based kernel doesn't support and time to test patches to
support it, the kernel team would be happy to hear from you.  Please
feel free to file new bugs for any unsupported or poorly supported
devices.

Thanks for your patience and hard work in tracking down the iwlwifi
bug.

Sincerely,
