Has anyone else noticed wifi problems (via iwlagn) on 3.1.5?
After a wake from sleep today my lenovo laptop could not connect to wifi. It had connected fine on a different wifi.
It got stuck in 'authenticating' phase - if the supplicant logs are a valid indicator.
Booting back to 3.1.4 got it going again immediately.
I did not see any out of the ordinary messages.t
I know there been quite a bit of noise about iwlagn driver on LKML - but I thought most of the patches had gone into 3.1.5 ...

You really don't need to do that. The 2.6.41.x kernels in F15 are the same kernel version as F16. 2.6.41.5 == 3.1.5.

Yeh I know ... but I started doing this before 2.6.4x was in swing ... and never broke the habit :-)

There was an Intel wireless regression that was fixed in 3.1.5-6.fc16. Try that if you haven't already. If you did and still have the issues, please report a bug.

Thanks Josh - I saw that - I am running 3.1.5-7 which includes that fix ...
its odd that today was the first time i saw this - I have been connecting to a couple of wifi AP's without problem since the kernel was released - I had no problems with the -2 build either I should note - now out of the blue this morning I had a problem.
I removed the iwlagn module and modprobed it back in case that helped - it did not help - only a reboot fixed it.
I have now rebooted back to 3.1.5-7 (not on battery if that makes any difference) and now I connect just fine to the same AP.
So this is intermittent bug ... sadly ...
Should I learn how to make iwlagn verbose in case something useful shows up in logs at some point?

Definitely intermittent - rebooted back to 3.1.5-7 - sleeped laptop - awake - wifi works fine ... will keep monitoring and report further
