Comment 56 for bug 1091372

I'm experiencing the same problems (XPS13 developer edition with Centrino 6235 out of the shelf) , but now I noticed this from Intel:

Edited 9/5/2014 by John S. (Intel Customer Support).
The 17.1.0 version of Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software and Drivers has fixes for connectivity related issues with the Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6235 wireless adapter.

So Intel claims they have finally fixed the issues (after 2 years) in their windows drivers. Now, can anyone make some detective work to see what are the corresponding fixes on the linux drivers and could we backport them?
