Subject: iwlwifi regression

Hi.

I seeing regression in iwlwifi using intel 5300 card. It used to
work fine but after one upgrade is started to fail. Symptom: at some
point card stops transmitting or receiving any data, but still holds
connection. No specific errors in logs. Disconnecting/reconnecting
helps for very short period.
I was able to track it down and it looks like the problem was
introduced in next-20111222. I.e. next-20111221 is fine, next-20111222
is not (compat-wireless-2011-12-18 is fine, 2011-12-23 is broken).

I tried to look into diff between next-20111221 and next-20111222
but it looks quite large and I do not really know how to bisect it
further. So I'd appreciate any hint on this.
I'd be happy to provide any additional information and can try
patches locally.
Thanks!
