Please note that I intend to acquire a new laptop within a three-month
time frame, at which time this laptop will be disposed of. The new
laptop will run some version of Microsoft Windows. No additional
troubleshooting information will be available after that time.

Title:
  [xorg-edgers] iwlwifi connection freezing on xorg-edgers kernel

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm experiencing the problem referred to at
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785561#c4 . This problem
  is severe enough to completely kill WiFi connections on heavily-loaded
  networks.

  The xorg-edgers bug reporting guidelines are very unclear, at least
  about kernel-related problems. I apologize if this is the wrong place.

  Does anyone know if this bug has been solved in the stock Ubuntu
  kernel, and whether the xorg-edgers kernel for precise (or any Ubuntu
  kernel) has absorbed the fix? I've tried fiddling with a lot of
  iwlwifi modprobe options, and none reduce or eliminate the problem.
