I can see the driver trying to scale down the rate because of too many transmit failures, but it looks like it's already at the lowest rate. The signal levels the driver reports look fairly low but not unreasonable (around -80 to -85 dBm). My experience with older Intel wireless hardware was that

Hmm, it's odd that you would have seen any difference between 3.15 rc2 and rc3, as there are no changes at all to any networking code or wireless drivers between those releases. I can't find anything that looks like it should have had any impact on the stability of your wireless connection. --

Yes, -9 is supported as of 3.15-rc2 (though it should also be supported in the 3.14 stable updates as well). I don't recall any updates to -9, but it was added to linux-firmware in trusty at some point, so if you did any other updates in between testing rc2 and rc3 it's possible you also changed
