The iwlagn module is - loaded and iwconfig sees an interface that supports wireless, but the - device is unenableable in network manager. + UPDATE: Seems similar to bug 193970 except the workaround does not work, and chipset, driver, and distribution are all different. + ------------------------- + I'm running 2.6.28-4-generic with an intel 5300 AGN wireless card that works perfectly out of the box with intrepid.
