Add a little more so. As described in the initial report. Any Intel Wirless card can nolonger see an 802.11a or 802.11n access point that is using the 5GHZ band.

I have confirmed this on a Thinkpad T61 with an 4965agn card and a Thinkpad x301 with an 5350 card.

Do we know why CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY was switched to "n" as opposed to "y"?

For now it is causing a regression, that is not fixed for this case even in the upstream 2.6.29 kernel for the iwlagn driver.
