Hmm, perhaps iwl4965 device does not work well with the new PCIe chipset.

Does any of fallowing workaround the problem?

kernel boot parameter:
pcie_aspm=off
pci_aspm=force
pci=nocrs
pci=use_crs

iwlegacy module parameter:
bt_coex_active=0

iwl4965 module parameters
11n_disable=1

There should be 3 or 2 antennas: 1 - white, 3 - grey, 2 - black,
connection on adapter should match cable color (ok, I don't know if
it does any difference, but it worth to try). If there is only one
antenna available, perhaps there is somewhere another miniPCIe slot
where are more antenna cables available. But, if there is really
only one antenna cable, it should be connected to number 1 (white)
adapter connector.
