[Bug 336929] [NEW] 4965AGN Still locks up system on startup

[JeffThurston]

Public bug reported:

Running 8.10 w/ the latest (2.6.27-11) linux-backports-modules-intrepid has not resolved my issues;
The firmware being loaded is confirmed as version 228.57.2.23.

Doing any of the following will completely lock up the system. I am also
seeing errors related to the RF_Kill bug as well on occasion and
messages of MAC in deep sleep usually right before the system will lock
up. It is not very consistent however.

modprobe iwlagn
modprobe iwlagn, iwlist wlan0 scan (doesn't lock up but 99% of the time will NOT scan or it will return a failure of the device)
modprobe iwlagn, iwlist wlan0 scan, log into gnome
blacklist iwlagn, log into gnome, then repeat the above
remove NetworkManager from startup, then any of the above.
 
Additional solutions I have tried;
Using wpa_supplicant instead NetworkManager
RF_Kill switch disabled, card forced "On".

Anyone else still suffering from this? I MAY be unique since my system
is a Dell Latitude D531 AMD/ATI, originally with a Broadcom mPCIe b/g
card which worked fine, added a bulk/OEM Intel 4965AGN card to the
system.

Everything works just fine in XP/Vista however, which I know doesn't
help much, but it at least tells me that the card does work with this
laptop.
