The connection is not working with iwlwifi on Intel 5100 AGN (I have no option to test others). The problem is discribed here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/9/519. To provide working connection, we should include this patch into gentoo-sources patch for all 3.2.x based kernels. I tried patch on sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.2.9. No change in upstream patch is needed to patch our gentoo-sources. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to connect any network 2. you wlan interface looks associated with ip address 3. all unicast packets are lost Actual Results: the wifi is not working without this patch Expected Results: Please, could you add to our gentoo-sources backport of patch planned for 3.3.x as described here? https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/9/519 Original patch on LKML: Reported-by: Alexander Schnaidt <alex.schnaidt@googlemail.com> Tested-by: Alexander Schnaidt <alex.schnaidt@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
