I suffer from this bug too, with this card in access point mode:

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 [8086:08b1] (rev 73)
 Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 [8086:4070]

And kernel 4.15.0-33-generic on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial, though I encountered it with previous versions too, and I think with 4.4 kernels too.

It seems to happen when the load on the network is high.

But luckily, according to https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg169581.html it seems to be fixed in Intel by https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git/commit/?id=b8e2a319df8cc60626ab7dcabbbab64ff56be41e in their release/core35.

I think the resulting bug is probably in iwlwifi.ko (linux-image-extra package) (I don't think it is in iwlwifi.ucode).
Is there any way to track which release/coreXX is in a kernel version?
