Thanks, that did indeed help. With the four patches
	iwlwifi-counting-number-of-tfds-can-be-free-for-4965.patch
	iwlwifi-fix-nfreed.patch
	iwlwifi-need-check-for-valid-qos-packet-before-free.patch
	iwlwifi-range-checking-issue.patch
applied, 2.6.32.11 works again reliably, as far as I could test so far.

Best regards,
Ulrich
