Intel 5300 wireless not working (iwalgn)

$ lspci | grep -i net
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 (rev ff)
$ uname -a
Linux westley 3.1.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 22 09:17:56 CET 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

My wireless card worked perfectly for quite a long time, but lately it's been a bit flakey. Coming out of standby often causes it to fail, and rebooting will sometimes, but not always, fix the problem.

The indicator light won't come on, and trying to bring the card up manually gives this:

The laptop's a T400, if that's any help.

$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Connection timed out

And dmesg looks like this:

[34123.748035] iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: L1 Enabled; Disabling L0S

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Until you get it fixed, you can tell pm-suspend to unload the wireless driver before suspending, then loading it again after resuming?

Re: Intel 5300 wireless not working (iwalgn)

The apparent answer to this problem was to wait for another bump of the kernel. Huh.
