Wireless stopped working after latest kernel update.
It connects and works fine using wired/
It connects and works fine with wireless until I use it for more than
a host check and a ping check.
Shortly after trying to use the connection (heavy load from chrome
restoring a lot of saved tabs) - it stops = NM thinks its ok - ifconfig
wlan0 shows it has an ip - iwconfig looks normal.
However I cannot ping the default route any longer.
/var/log/messages shows nothing iwlagn related - no oops etc
wpa_supplicant remains quiet.
rebooting produces same result with kernel is 2.6.32.10-90 (x86_64).
rmmod iwlagn; modprobe iwlagn ===> does not revive it.
Booting back to older kernel-2.6.9-70 works fine - so problem is
only in the newer kernel.
I did not see this using same computer earlier on a 802.11g network -
so it seesm its only with N.
