Possibly, but in my case it was the Intel firmware. Loading the version of the
firmware supplied for my card at
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi#Firmware
improved performance and reliability somewhat.

The version of the firmware included in the Debian package, on the other hand,
was much less reliable.

The laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad X200, with an Intel IWL5100/5300 card (it's
variously reported as either 5100 or 5300 by different tools, as I recall).
