Please provide verbose debug logs on working and not working kernel for compare. Kernel has to be compiled with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_LEGACY_DEBUG or CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG, or CONFIG_IWLEGACY_DEBUG (depend on kernel version). On CentOS, kernel-debug should has proper option enabled. Please configure syslog to log debug messages into /var/log/kernel (some hint here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DebugWireless), restart syslog, then do: modprobe -r iwl4965 echo > /var/log/kernel modprobe iwl4965 debug=0x47ffffff wait for association failure (bad kernel) or association success (good kernel) modprobe -r iwl4965 And post me compress /var/log/kernel files. On CentOS there is iwlagn module instead of iwl4965. Would be great if you can find two consecutive kernel versions where the things get broken. Most likely this is 2.6.38 -> 2.6.39 regression where the iwlwifi driver split into iwlegacy happen. And provide logs from there. But if you don't want to bother with trying different kernel version, verbose logs from CentOS and 3.2 are fine, just will be a bit harder for me to analyze them.
