 | Hi,
 | I compiled new GENERIC kernel with patch you provided. My laptop booted
 | without problem. Kernel seems OK.
 | My first findings and improvements:
 | - Before, "ifconfig iwm0 list scan" wasn't work and gives an error
 | message. Now, list scan still doesn't work, doesn't give error, but adds to
 | dmesg "iwm0: fatal firmware error" message.
 | - Before, wpa_supplicant were associate with ~1 min or more latency. Now
 | association is in ~5 sec.
 | - iwm connects to network without problem.
 
 I guess we have something wrong there, but if this is an improvement,
 we should probably just commit it.
