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

I have no idea what the problem might be but "microcode SW error" gave me a
hint
towards the firmware.
My laptop has an Intel 3945 chip.
