(Get the code!)
This bug makes daily work a real pain - my wifi is constantly going down and I have to press the hardware kill switch twice to get it back up again.
As a work-around, based on the upstream report, I have been running a script to force the adapter into (slower) g-mode:
sudo rmmod iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
This script sometimes causes a complete kernel crash, so I have not made it run by default, though it has not caused a crash so far when I run it manually soon after bootup. Perhaps it causes the crash after the adapter has gone through one of its failure cycles?
After the adapter is in g mode I do still get wifi disconnects but they are in the order of less than once a day, so I can at least get some work done.
