Bug#550534: firmware-iwlwifi: iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: Microcode SW error detected., Restarting 0x82000000.
Hi everyone, I have the same problems, too. Debian squeeze runs on a Lenovo R61 with the following WLAN-NIC: 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) uname -a Linux NBOOK 2.6.30-2-686 #1 SMP Fri Dec 4 00:53:20 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:tztztz Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: xyzyzy Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:blablabla Power Management:off Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-27 dBm Noise level=-96 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 The WLAN-connection is secured with WPA-PSK. Before a new installation with squeeze I have used Debian stable with the default packages of the stable-branch. (firmware-iwlwifi-0.14). This installation runs daily without any problems about one year. About that past 12 months I have never lost the WLAN-connection. But after I have made a complete new installation with a squeeze-installation-CD the problem occurs. The problem couldn' t be reconstruct for example with more sessions at the same time or full bandwith downloads. Sending a kind of keep-alive by a ping to my access-point in a cronjob every minute doesn't fix the problem. I have made a downgrade and a upgrade to firmware-iwlwifi-0.14 (lenny) or firmware-iwlwifi-017 (0.17~bpo50+1_all) and firmware-iwlwifi-0.22 (sid) but unfortunately without any positive improvements. I think its rather a combination with and the firmware-iwlwifi (0.18) linux-image-2.6.30-2-686 (6.30-8squeeze1) packages.
