So the plan is to ship intrepid with a version of the iwlagn driver that
is known to cause kernel panics that are impossible for the average user
to trace back to that driver?  Not everybody reads release notes, so
many people will end up with a system that is unstable for no apparent
reason.  If it's really not possible to backport the newer version of
the driver, wouldn't it be a better idea to disable the broken driver
altogether?  That way people would be forced to look for a solution and
then hopefully figure out that they need to install linux-backports-
modules.
