Title:
Intel WiFi Link 5300 doesn't work with kernel 3.2.0.24
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
A couple of days ago, I upgraded to not only Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but also from
kernel 3.0.0.17 to 3.2.0.24. This worked correctly at my friends house just
fine. However, I flew home and now my computer cannot ping or connect to the
internet at all. (Both of these were wireless networks). I switched to my
windows partition of my computer, and it connected to the internet no issues.
So the problem was isolated to ubuntu.
My computer is a Dell Studio XPS which is about 3 years old now. The
WiFi adapter is an Intel WiFi Link 5300. This will play into the game
later.
After a couple of hours searching around and talking to people, a few
things were unearthed. First, that a dhcp lease was obtained from the
router. Other than that, the computer could not communicate with
anything on the network (no ping even). All of the /etc/hosts,
/etc/hostname, and /etc/network/interfaces stuff was in order. There
was nothing abnormal in any of the logs that were checked.
With the help of some googling, someone pointed out that it sounded
remarkably like what was happening in this thread. DHCP lease acquired, no
transmission after that.

This was for the Intel Wifi Link 5300. That is my adapter. It must be
conflicting between the G and N standards from the Linksys WRT310N router here
at home, and it must not have had that conflict at the previous house I was at.
I booted into a previous version of the kernel (3.0.0.17) and there was no
issue (that's actually how I'm typing this right now). I performed a "sudo
apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic" to make sure the
kernel was correct, and the error repeated after a restart. Once again, I
booted into the previous version of the kernel, and it worked correctly.
If there is any differing conclusion about what happened, feel free to
let me know!
Just to verify the version claim, my "lsb_release -rd" output is:
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
Here is the "lspci -vvxxx" result for the network adapter:
