The problem is still being diagnosed on kernel bugzilla, but for the
moment, "iw reg set US" seems to be a workaround.

Title:
  Wifi unstable on vivid with Intel 7265 (Thinkpad X250)

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Unknown
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  After upgrading from utopic to vivid beta, wifi on the Intel 7265 on
  my Thinkpad X250 has become unstable (linux-image 3.19.0-10.10, linux-
  firmware 1.143).  I'm seeing two primary problems:

   * On 5GHz 802.11ac, I'll get DEAUTH_LEAVING almost exactly every minute, followed by an immediate reconnect.
   * On both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, all network activity will cease after 10-20 minutes.  A manual reconnect will temporarily fix network activity.

  This is complicated by the fact that the newer firmware requires
  kernel 3.19 and kernel 3.19 requires the iwlwifi-7265D*.ucode firmware
  instead of the old iwlwifi-7265*.ucode firmware, so it's not possible
  to mix/match older/newer kernel/firmware combinations, nor do a kernel
  bisect.

  FAOD, the latest utopic kernel/firmware combination (linux-image
  3.16.0-33.44, linux-firmware 1.138.1) works fine, which I can use in
  vivid if I manually install them.

  I have tested ~kernel-ppa/mainline 3.19.3-031903.201503261036 and
  4.0.0-040000rc5.201503230035, which exhibit the same problems.
