I got back to this for a customer running 3.5, and after many failed
attempts realized that you have to have iptables for this problem to
actually happen. I reverse-bisected that the *fix* is
6caab7b0544e83e6c160b5e80f5a4a7dd69545c7, in 3.7.

Is there still any stable kernel 3.5/3.6 (or possibly before, though for
iwlwifi before doesn't matter) that this should be applied to?
