Hello, 
if anybody's interested, I had the same issue and got this to work on my 8530w 
(Intel 5300 chipset).
I compiled and installed compat-wireless-2009-12-11.tar.bz2 from 
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/ and it now works 
flawlessly with my 5GHz N AP. However, unfortunately, the darn led starts 
blinking again so you have to create a file such as 
/etc/modprobe.d/iwlcore.conf containing "options iwlcore led_mode=1" to stop 
it. The other fix of creating an /etc/network/if-up.d script doesn't work 
because the /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0 device (?) no longer exists.
