Same problem with this wireless card (7260 rev 73)
Ubuntu stable 13.10, kernel 3.11.0-14-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP.
after firmware upgrade to 22.1.7.0 it is much better and problems occurs only when:
a) too much AP's around me (office)
b) >5 meter away from AP (signal strength is low, in Win8 works perfectly)
wifi reconnects again every minute or two.

Title:
  8086:08b1 [Toshiba Satellite P55-A5312] Intel 7260 Wifi regularly
  crashes

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi, my wifi connection is rather unstable on my Toshiba P55-A5312
  laptop which uses an Intel 7260 (rev. 73) wireless network controller.
  Once the abort occurs, wifi becomes very unstable, crashing every 5
  mins.

  Looking at dmesg, the failure appears to originate as:

  [ 398.780636] ieee80211 phy0: Hardware restart was requested
  [ 398.781020] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: L1 Disabled; Enabling L0S
  [ 398.781158] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: L1 Disabled; Enabling L0S
  [ 398.789161] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000.

  Then, after some register values (I can post these if you want), I
  get:

  [ 398.789618] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Firmware error during reconfiguration! Abort.
  [ 398.789622] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: FW error in SYNC CMD MAC_CONTEXT_CMD

  Finally, I get the same warning in util.c:

  [ 398.789949] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1474 at
  /home/apw/COD/linux/net/mac80211/util.c:1509
  ieee80211_reconfig+0x15d9/0x1860 [mac80211]()

  This is on kernel version 3.11.8, and I am using Firmware
  iwlwifi-7260-7-ucode (ie. version 7) for the 7260 controller.

  Edit:  I have since upgraded to kernel 3.13, and although the crash
  still occurs, iwlwifi tries to restart itself.  I can see the wifi
  icon disconnect and then reconnect automatically a few seconds later.
  This trace is from syslog:

  I have saved away dmesg and syslog output if you require it.

  Thanks!
