[Bug 594889] Re: WiFi Link 6000 Series (rev 35) crashes regularly on N network

[Manoj Iyer]

The upstream bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15374 claims that the following 4 patches resolve this issue, although the main issue here is that there is an error in the microcode and that has not been fixed yet. So the problem might not go away until the microcode is fixed. 

Subject: [PATCH 1/4] mac80211: tear down all agg queues when restart/reconfig hw 
Subject: [PATCH 2/4] iwlwifi: check for aggregation frame and queue
Subject: [PATCH 3/4] iwlwifi: clear all tx queues when firmware ready
Subject: [PATCH 4/4] iwlwifi: clear all the stop_queue flag after load firmware

Patches 1,3, and 4 are in Lucid, patch 2 uses a newer version of the
function ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session() and so the build fails. This
will require back porting a list of patches to get it to build. But, it
still wont fix the real issue which is broken microcode. Maverick kernel
should have all these patches already. I tried to build a lucid kernel
last night, but gave up after a few attempts at backporting from
upstream.
