Just have a look through the official iwlwifi bugzilla for the reaction
level to externally reported problems

http://bughost.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=iwlwifi&content=

However the driver is getting reviewed at the moment for inclusion into
the mainline kernel and it seems that things will improve.  Perhaps
including not pushing things into closed source firmware that are better
done in the 80211 stack.
