This sounds an awful lot like a firmware bug, as well (for which we don't have the source code for). Perhaps you could try downgrading your firmware-iwlwifi package and let us know whether that fixes the issue? It sounds like the driver itself is doing the right thing by detecting a firmware problem and reloading. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
