I don't know exactly what chip the W700 has.  My 4965 uses the same 
driver and has been acting up ever since F10.

Finally the upstream kernel seems to work.  There have been a few 
crucial changes lately, especially a patch to prevent a race/corruption 
which can throw the firmware off.

Try the rawhide kernel.  I'm using it with an F11 installation just fine 
and iwlagn is finally solid again.
