Tim, thank you very much for all your suggestions!
 I just sent out a new patch based on your suggestions and it's pending
approval;-)

Sorry, I forgot about that. I recovered Ben's modification this time.
BTW, Ben, could you let me on which machine we can reproduce this issue.
Then we can evaluate whether it's a general issue and needs to be fixed
in upstream.

The new iwlwifi drivers are ready for git pull on zinc.ubuntu.com now.
The code is in both
my home directory and
/srv/kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ywang/ubuntu-gutsy-lum.git.
BTW, who is responsible for doing that? I mean pulling from my git repo.
