Package: firmware-iwlwifi Version: 0.9 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I managed to connect to a WiFi network but after about a minute of surfing the internet connection died. While searching for the cause I stumbled upon such errors in 'dmesg': --start dmesg snippet-- wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0 wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:18:39:a5:79:fc wlan0: RX authentication from 00:18:39:a5:79:fc (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0) wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP 00:18:39:a5:79:fc wlan0: RX ReassocResp from 00:18:39:a5:79:fc (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=3) wlan0: associated iwl3945: Microcode SW error detected.
