... and the second problem I had with associating with EAP-TLS
encrypted SSID's was solved by Wey-Yi's patch: 

	  iwlwifi: allow to switch to HT40 if not associated yet

... found in the thread "iwlagn regression in v3.1.5"

So with these two patches applied, things are now stable for me.

One thing: out of curiosity, I assume there is a pretty good testing
infrastructure at Intel --- how was it that this didn't caught
earlier?  Is it because different access points do things a little
different?  Would it be useful if I can find out the model of access
point that we're using, so you could hopefully augment your library of
test hardware?  I'm asking out of purely selfish reasons, of course,
since this took me the better part of a day to bisect each of these
problems.
