Also now experiencing this bug after 17.10 upgrade - never had a problem before. Wifi still works fine on the Windows side of dual boot so probably software issue. Messing with swcrypto, rfkill, power management off, WOL off doesn't seem to have any effect. I tried different older ucode versions from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git but the problem still exists, although the oldest 7260-17 ucode version on the git tree doesn't continually spam errors to dmesg after the initial failure, just once for the initial failure.

One strange thing I noticed is that stability is much worse with an active deluge (torrent client) process, in which iwlwifi wedges after hours->a day. But with deluge off it can last for multiple days - maybe indefinitely - without wedging.
