arty, regarding your answers:
4b) WPA2-PSK -> If you remove encryption entirely, or adjust it to WPA-PSK/TKIP, WEP does it change anything?
4d) No QoS AFAIK -> So, in your router, what options do you have?
4f) I didn't enable any firewall on the router -> Does your router have an option to disable this?
4g) The problem has happened on several channels. -> Which ones specifically? Did you try them all?
5) At least 4 other WiFi devices do not have problems like this one. -> What devices/OSes specifically?
9) I have never tried that with previous releases. I do not have the option to try. -> One may test prior releases (live environment is fine) via http://releases.ubuntu.com/ . Saucy would be helpful as it tests the next oldest firmware version for your chipset.
10) Since I have already tried the latest 3.19-rc1 kernel, I don't see the point to test compat-wireless -> compat-wireless has the commits from linux-next in them, which is more advanced than 3.19-rc1 (linux-stable). Could you please advise to this?
13) I will try the ndiswrapper later. -> Please advise to this as it working rules out hardware failure.
16) I'm using linux-firmware 1.138. I haven't tried the previous version. Latest Intel firmware is from 3/25/2014, I assume it's already included in linux-firmware 1.138. -> It's not. I've adjusted the article to better inform on this.

Title:
  [Dell Precision M4800] iwlwifi regularly loses connection on Intel
  7260

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  About every 10 minutes my WiFi disconnects and a line like this appears in syslog:
  Dec 24 11:31:31 work kernel: [ 2721.017478] wlan0: deauthenticated from 10:c6:1f:2c:49:56 (Reason: 7=CLASS3_FRAME_FROM_NONASSOC_STA)

  It is accompanied later by such line:
  Dec 24 11:31:46 work NetworkManager[902]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: activated -> failed (reason 'SSID not found') [100 120 53]

  The network disappears from the list and only becomes visible after I
  disable and re-enable networking via the network applet.

  I don't remember seeing this problem at work where they use Cisco
  routers. I see the problem at home with my Speedport 723V Typ A router
  (a+b+n mode, WPA2). This may be affected by number of other wifi
  networks which are visible here: at least 17 at the moment.

  03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 [8086:08b1] (rev 73)
   Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 [8086:4470]

  WORKAROUND: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf :
  options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1

  Drops did not cause loss of my network, and reconnects happened mostly
  in the same second. However at some moments there were just too many
  drops.
