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 it didn't do as well with weak signals as
most other hardware, but I haven't checked with their newer hardware.
There's also nothing recorded about the noise level, which could also be
a contributing factor.

However, right now I don't see anything the driver is doing to
contribute to this problem. I'll look at the data some more, but I think
it would be a good idea to try and get a trace which shows the
disconnections as well.
