Behaviour has not changed after BIOS update. Right after I wrote comment #4, I lost the network, but cycling wifi via nm-applet brought it back. Things seemed to otherwise work yesterday, but this morning after resume from suspend it was back to the same: associated with my AP, but pages in browser do not load. I then ping the AP and get "unreachable".

If I can connect, it seems to work fine indefinitely, but initial connections (after suspend, or right after a reboot) only occasionally works. Sometimes, if I wait long enough the connection starts working after several minutes, sometimes it works if I turn off wireless and turn it back on, but often it just never works. According to dmesg, iwlwifi is associating with the access point just fine, but if I ping the ap, I get "netowrk unreachable".
