I hit this too on two different cards, without iwlwifi driver. Unlike you,
the only solution that worked for me was restart.

Seems like a bug in i810. It's possible it's triggered by loading iwlwifi
or it may be just a coincidence.

Does restart (I really mean a full reboot, to let BIOS reinitialize the
card) fix the problem with iwlwifi still installed?
