3.4.84-stable review: iwlwifi module fails with an Intel 6205

[Andres Bertens]

Hello,

Same as reported with 3.4.83 release, 3.4.84-rc1 also makes my wifi 
network card stop working:
   iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Failed to run INIT ucode: -110
   iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Unable to initialize device.

My laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad X230 with an Intel Corporation Centrino 
Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak] (rev 34). Another user also reported same 
problem with an Intel(R) Centrino(R) Ultimate-N 6300 AGN, REV=0x74

As a workaround, reverting patch from release 3.4.83:
    Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
       iwlwifi: always copy first 16 bytes of commands
makes it work again.


Saludos,
Andres Bertens
