I took a look at recent modifications to the iwlwifi driver and there
was one commit that caught my attention:

50e2a30cf6fcaeb2d27360ba614dd169a10041c5 "iwlwifi: disable greenfield
transmissions as a workaround"

This commit seems to be a workaround a bug on this driver that happens
in some situations, when performing rate scaling.

I've built a test kernel containing a backport of this commit to the
Precise kernel and uploaded it here:

Hossein, can you please try this kernel and see if it makes any
difference?  Thanks.
