Johannes pointed on irc that this problem is most likely caused by:

commit f785d83a19bca326f79d127a413e35769afc0105
Author: Eliad Peller <eliad@xxxxxxxxxx>

    mac80211: clear sta.drv_priv on reconfiguration

Michal, could you confirm that? If that is the root of the problem, we
need patch for iwlegacy (and iwlwifi) that allocate separate memory for
rc structures.

Thanks
Stanislaw
