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.
