@Julian - Not sure I agree. I see several 6000 -5 firmware updates
too, so I wonder if we are seeing the same thing. The symptoms are
similar - GNOME locks up when the wifi card associates with an endpoint.
Here's the list in /lib/firmware, if you still think I should open an
new bug I will.
@Greg: this bug is about the 5000 firmware not loading at all. It is not about
a malfunction in the running firmware, as in your case when associating with
an access point. The symptom in this bug is (see above):
$ dmesg | grep iwl
[ 28.457204] iwlagn :03:00.0: firmware: requesting

Should be fixed with 2.6.32-33.68 in -proposed.
Greg:
Per thinkwiki.org, the x201 has a 6000 series wireless chip - that means it's
not affected by this bug. This seems like a different issue, please open a new
bug for it.

Regards to comment 5 - didn't work on my Lenovo x201, still hangs so
waiting on this to hit Lucid LTS!

The offending patch has been reverted in the latest kernel build
2.6.32-33.67, which is currently building and should be available in
-proposed within a day or so.

The following workaround can be used until this bug is fixed (renaming
the new firmware, to force loading the older one):
mv /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode.off
Other more complex workarounds are proposed in the duplicate bug reports
#794291 and #794814
Yes, we'll revert this patch and upload again at the end of this
verification cycle, and will not release to -updates with this problem

I can confirm this bug on my t400 running ubuntu lucid, 2.6.32-33
-generic-pae, and a 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation
Wireless WiFi Link 530. The solution in #794291 worked for me.

There's multiple things going on here.
1. lucid-proposed now claims to support API version 5
(http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=commit;h=19449afc28addded0724437c9952efb0d3efaabf),
although it's lacking the necessary code to handle the new firmware file
format.
The new
(for people testing -proposed: the easiest workaround right now is
probably renaming the 5000-5.ucode, so that the driver never tries to
pick it up)

Another possibilty is restricting the driver to use iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode
(see patch).

I just grabbed
http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.83.5.1-1.tgz
and was surprised to find sha1sum:
22bf6093ed8204027cc3207c739d2cab9cc92ea3
iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.83.5.1/iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode

To confirm what Julian says, when we offer up an ABI#5 ucode binary
lucid does not understand it and the new format has a zero version
number in the legacy version location (as marker of the new version).
This breaks the old driver and prevents the older version being tried.
it is not all clear
Yes, the patch (iwlagn: Support new 5000 microcode) shoudn't have
been applied on 2.6.32 and 2.6.33 stable trees.
Support for the iwlagn new firmware file format was only added beginning
with 2.6.35 (commit iwlagn: implement loading a new firmware file
type), so the patch is only for 2.6.35 or
Can the 2.6.32 tree be rolled back in that case then? As it's an LTS
and a fix is known, can it be applied?
