[Bug 276990] [NEW] iwlagn causes kernel panic on 802.11n wifi

I don't know the specific trigger but in my testing with intrepid over
the last few weeks I have found a large amount of kernel panics when
connected to my 802.11n router with an intel 4965 card. This issue does
not at all appear when I use an 802.11b/g network which is what I use
exclusively at my university (student during the day). At one point my
system had 4 kernel panics in 2 hours all while using network intensive
applications (apt, firefox, terminal server client).

I've tried the REISUB magic keys several times but its a completely dead
machine. However, I have found something that works and I think it
should be added to the official repository, the Oct-1-2008 compat-
wireless iwlagn module fixes the kernel panic issue. I've left my
machine on for an extended period of time in the same conditions that
used to kernel panic before and so far all is good. I understand we are
nearing the end of the road and only major showstoppers should be
included for release but I feel this warrants such consideration.
