[Bug 539369] [NEW] iwlagn wifi does not work with 4GB RAM in 8.04 LTS x86_64

[Peter Watkins]

Public bug reported:

I have an Intel-based laptop that's been running 8.04 LTS no problem for
a year, with 2 GB of RAM installed. I replaced both RAM modules to
upgrade to 4GB of RAM, tested with memtest86+ (several full passes, no
errors), and then booted into 8.04 LTS again. The wireless (iwlagn) does
not work with 4 GB of RAM in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS x86_64 (but works fine in
32-bit Windows Vista and 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10 -- so the hardware clearly
is capable of using wifi with 4GB of RAM).
