The 3.12 kernel is out
I hope they do a bug-fix only release. There's been an issue with Intel Wireless cards since 3.8. Had to downgrade to 3.7 to get consistent Wifi...

There are >4000 known bugs in the kernel. They would be probably busy fixing just the significant ones until "4.0" when just doing bugfixing.
The easiest thing to do is to report to the bugtracker of your distro and see.

3.11 made a huge improvement for my wireless. Have you tried that?

Yes. It works well for a while, then randomly crashes.

Is it the iwl4965 driver? For me using 11n_disable=1 makes it work more reliably.

iwl3945 actually. Trying your fix though, so far so good. On 3.11.6 right now...

If you have an easy way to reproduce that could you report a bug about that upstream? The only way to reproduce it for me is when using a hotel WiFi, which gives a quite narrow window to report bugs/test patches.
