asala: While it's known that there are forward fixes, it also worked in
an earlier kernel.  This means that there is previous breakage, as well.
The fixes may be for that same breakage, I haven't looked into that.

I believe 3.16 is fixed, as well.

Title:
  8086:08b1 (rev 6b) [Dell XPS 13 9333] iwlwifi regularly loses
  connection/becomes unusable on Intel 7260

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My Intel 7260 network card regularly shows very poor performance
  and/or loses its connection entirely. On several occasions I have been
  unable to reestablish an association with the AP without rebooting.
  This occurs even if the laptop is within a few feet of the AP. I did
  not have this problem on 12.04 with a quantal backport kernel.

  Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 [8086:08b1] (rev 6b)
