["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rebecca Menessec, could you please confirm this issue exists with the
latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains,
could you please run the following command in the development release
from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will
automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc4

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

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.
