Update: I successfully installed 3.8 RC 5. My issues persist.
They have changed somewhat, though. On my home network (standard wireless N router), I was able to boot into RC5 and connect us for a couple hours with no issues. Previously, I had to disable N (using "sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1") to connect reliably. This is a success.
However, the new kernel made things much worse on my office's enterprise wireless network (Meru). I connected for about ten minutes initially, then lost the connection and was never able to get back on. I tried rebooting, reloading modules, etc. These log messages repeated about every ten seconds in the kernel log:

I've since booted back into 3.2.
