[Bug 532451] [NEW] Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 6050 series wireless does not work

[David Strauss]

Public bug reported:

Wireless Controller: Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 6050 series (Kernel module
iwlagn.ko)

Intel wireless controller can be detected, driver is loaded, but
clicking network manager shows no access point. Our office has at least
2 APs as I can see them using other systems. Installing linux-backports-
modules-karmic did not fix things, nor did installing the 2.6.33 kernel
from the PPA. Once I've installed either the backports or the new
kernel, there appears to be a missing microcode/firmware issue,
specifically for "iwlwiki-6050-4.ucode".

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the system
2. Click network manager
3. Look for available AP for wireless connection

Expected result:
Available APs are listed, select the best one to make connection.

Actual result:
No AP can be seen.
