Why is this bug marked as "incomplete" . This is a real problem that continues to happen to me on my x201 running 12.04. The only way around fixing it is

1. unload and reload the iwlwifi kernel module
2. reboot the machine
3. turn the wifi switch off for 30 seconds (so the kernel module gets unloaded) and turn it back on again.

This is obviously a bug in the kernel and not the driver since it happens to Atheros drivers as well.

Bug doesn't happen in the 12.10 Beta 1 release of Ubuntu. Please fix since 12.04 is LTS
