There have been significant changes in iwl4965 and wpasupplicant
meanwhile, even though especially pre-iwlagn still appear to be
troubled under certain situations, it would be nice to know if this is
still an open problem for you in >= wheezy (kernel 3.2 and
wpasupplicant 1.0 ideally).
Please also make sure not to use driver=wext, as nl80211 is the
strongly preferred method these days - and the default, if left
unconfigured.
