First of all thanks for all the updates :-)

The new firmware seems to have a few problems when it tries to
initialize my laptop's iwn0 interface.  The laptop is a Thinkpad X61s,
with an Intel 4965AGN wireless adapter:

# pciconf -lv
iwn0 at pci0:3:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x11108086 chip=0x42308086 rev=0x61 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (Intel 4965AGN)'
    class      = network

When wpa_supplicant is trying to associate with the new firmware in
place I see in /var/log/messages:

Going back to my last kernel from Dec 27 works fine (I am sending this
message over a wlan0 interface with that version of the firmware).
