Since this is a new device, support in 2.6.36 will likely not be possible. You might be able to modify iwl-6000.c to load a v5 firmware (set IWL6000G2_UCODE_API_MAX to 5) but we cannot support that and I don't know that the firmware API didn't change and you'll run into crashes again. I believe that the only supported way to get your device working is to start with 2.6.37 and the latest official -5 firmware image from the Intel download page. If you're really stuck on 2.6.36 for some reason, you can use compat-wireless to backport the driver. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
