As I was messing around with downgrading my kernel package (where'd
3.5-trunk go??) it occurred to me that I hadn't yet tried a more
recent version of firmware-iwlwifi. I had been on 0.36+wheezy.1.
After installing 0.37 from experimental, this issue seems to have
disappeared. I've been roaming around the house watching my wlan0
reassociate several times with a `ping -i3' running and it hasn't
lost its connection.
Richard, if you haven't updated, you might want to try:
sudo apt-get -t experimental install firmware-iwlwifi
Thanks to the Intel guys for keeping this excellent hardware going on
Linux!
