Hi,
Since a while I have been experiencing issues with iwlwifi locking up
requiring me to reconnect to my home AP. This happens both when
connecting on 2.4GHz and on 5GHz.
This is a Fedora kernel 4.1.6-200.fc22.x86_64, but checking
linux-2.6.git I see no updates to the driver since late July, so I
suspect it's uptodate on that front. I have been experiencing this issue
for about a month or so.
Attached dmesg output and the relevant portion of iw scan for the AP I
was connected to at the time.

Hi,
Emmanuel replied to this offline, accidentally. Just for the record,
I'll add the information here too.

There are some known problems of the queues getting stuck with version
-12 of our firmware. The recommendation when this problem is observed
is to upgrade to version -13, which should probably be provided by your
distro already, but if not, it can be taken from the linux-firmware git
tree:
