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

[jsweiss]

Hello,

Tried all the firmware images, with same result.
Also tried ndiswrapper, but it looks like this driver is not supported.

However, i tried a different thing ... i changed on the wifi router
(Huawei D100)
the WiFI security settings from Encryption mode : WPA-PSK, WPA
Encryption: TKIP
to WPA2-PSK, Encryption AES. I don't know if this is the reason, but
until now,
everything looks good. I also changed the firmware to the latest version
(8.24.2.12).
Ill post back after i test it for more time, as the problem usually
appears totally
random (sometimes once or twice in 2, 3 days, other times twice in 10
minutes).
The Huawei router is also Linux based, for more details you can check the
Huawei website.
Note: I have also been for 3 days in a hotel which had a wifi hotspot
that was
totally open, and it worked without any problems ...
