[Bug 518196] Re: Intel iwlagn driver hangs from time to time

[dave945]

Chase,
Thanks for the tip.  I did as you suggested.  I renamed the file and restarted the laptop and networking worked.  Then I named it back and rebooted: no wlan0.  Feeling we were on to something, I renamed the file back to .backup and rebooted thinking to write in and report a positive diagnosis.  Unfortunately, wlan0 is still not functioning, even though it appears to be OK as reported by syslog.  This makes me wonder if (a) it could be hardware, or (b) if the driver could have messed up the hardware.  As an additional data point, Windows Vista on this same laptop which has always connected before, stopped working today.
Thanks,
Dave

PS: let me know if you would like me to upload any logs.

Oh, also, you mentioned lbm-prefixed drivers in your previous note.  I
don't seem to have any. here's what I have:
