Wireless issues with Dell Inspiron 5520

[Brian Fehrle]

Hi all,

I have a new Dell Inspiron 5520, which I've installed Fedora 17 64 on.

I had trouble getting wireless working, but I found a forum where 
someone had a similar network device (Intel Device 0887) and installed 
the iwl2030-firmware. This got wireless working, however over the past 
day, I've had wireless die and the following error message twice:

Jan 15 09:49:36 mycompy kernel: [56840.617508] WARNING: at 
drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/tx.c:1187 
iwlagn_rx_reply_tx+0x9b6/0x9f0 [iwldvm]()
Jan 15 16:10:13 mycompy kernel: [21281.822421] WARNING: at 
drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/tx.c:1187 
iwlagn_rx_reply_tx+0x9b6/0x9f0 [iwldvm]()

To get wireless working again I had to restart the computer (restarting 
networking fails without ethernet plugged in, and no matter how many 
times I reconnected to the wireless, no network access was possible)

Could I have the wrong driver, or is this caused by something else?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
