Its far from perfect, but its better than the previous version. This are different variants of the firmware. Ok, then change the bugreport to firmware variant shipped in debian freezes system, use the above URL since that one doesn't freeze my machine... Or similar. Anyway, feel free to close this report, I reported the freezes and other problems with the shipped version and suggested a working version.

Package: firmware-iwlwifi Version: 0.10 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss The current version made my machine hang after heavy network use. It also refused to properly unload/reload upon hibernate (to disk) causing me to loose my wifi until I rebooted. I went to the intel website and downloaded the newest firmware. A week later I have not seen any of the above problems anymore.
