@Greg: this bug is about the 5000 firmware not loading at all. It is not about a malfunction in the running firmware, as in your case when associating with an access point.

@Julian - Not sure I agree. I see several 6000 "-5" firmware updates too, so I wonder if we are seeing the same thing. The symptoms are similar - GNOME locks up when the wifi card associates with an endpoint. Here's the list in /lib/firmware, if you still think I should open an new bug I will.

Yes, the patch ("iwlagn: Support new 5000 microcode") shoudn't have
been applied on 2.6.32 and 2.6.33 stable trees.
Support for the iwlagn new firmware file format was only added beginning
with 2.6.35 (commit "iwlagn: implement loading a new firmware file
type"), so the patch is only for 2.6.35 or later.

[Bug 796336] Re: 2.6.32-33-generic iwlagn firmware broken
To confirm what Julian says, when we offer up an ABI#5 ucode binary lucid does not understand it and the new format has a zero version number in the legacy version location (as marker of the new version). This breaks the old driver and prevents the older version being tried. it is not all clear that it is appropriate for the patch below to have been applied. Seems we got it via stable.

[Bug 796336] Re: 2.6.32-33-generic iwlagn firmware broken
There's multiple things going on here. 1. lucid-proposed now claims to support API version 5 (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=commit;h=19449afc28addded0724437c9952efb0d3efaabf), although it's lacking the necessary code to handle the new firmware file format. The new format has an all-zero header (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0e9a44dc0bb718c28b20a48f551818036ef090ab), so when verifying the firmware the driver ends up calculating the API as v0 - but as it expects at least v1, it complains and refuses to load the ucode. 2. after failing to verify the 5000-5.ucode, the driver doesn't try to load any of the older, working firmware files (such as 5000-2.ucode). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796336 Title: 2.6.32-33-generic iwlagn firmware broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/796336/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
