I just tried by doing the following:
1. re-enabling 11n
2. rebooting
3. disabling powersave
=> does not work

The PC looks connected to the AP but even google.com will time-out after some time (DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET).
Tried another website (http://test.com). Very slow connection. After a while, part of the website displays but lots of elements in the page don't show. A look at the console log shows that the browser got a net::ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED for the elements in the page that do not show.

Let me know if I can help more.
The best I could do so far was installing mainline kernel 3.14.1 as well as the related firmware microcode from:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi

But even with this setup, I would still need to disable 11n to get wifi working. So in the end, I wonder if installing the new kernel really had any impact at all. I am not quite sure.
