Subject: iwlwifi: Error sending REPLY_ADD_STA

Hello,

sometimes the Wifi adapter (Wireless-N 2230) in this Lenovo Thinkpad E431 
"disappears" and cannot be fixed by re-loading the iwlwifi kernel module
either. Only a reboot will do.

When I was running 3.16.0-4-amd64 from Debian/stable, I noticed the 
following message, but only _once_ and Wifi worked fine even with that 
message:

iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Error sending REPLY_TX_LINK_QUALITY_CMD: time out after 2000ms.
iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Current CMD queue read_ptr 25 write_ptr 26
iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Loaded firmware version: 18.168.6.1
iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Microcode SW error detected.  Restarting 0x2000000.

Now with Linux 4.2 it happens more often, I'll attach a the error below, 
the full kernel logs and .config can be found here: 
http://nerdbynature.de/bits/v4.2/

The initial error messages so far:

Linux version 3.16.0-4-amd64, Aug 17
iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Error sending REPLY_TX_LINK_QUALITY_CMD: time out after 2000ms.

Linux version 4.2.0-rc7, Aug 30
iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Error sending REPLY_ADD_STA: time out after 2000ms.

Linux version 4.2.0, Sep 19
iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Error sending REPLY_ADD_STA: time out after 2000ms.

Linux version 4.2.0, Sep 20
iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Error sending REPLY_ADD_STA: time out after 2000ms.

Linux version 4.2.0, Sep 25
iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Error sending REPLY_ADD_STA: time out after 2000ms.

I found old reports of these messages on the net, but either they were 
marked fixed[0] or years old[1][2] or not applicable to my card[3]

Does anybody has an idea what's going on here?

Thanks,
Christian.
