For some reason we are not able to authenticate, what itself is a
problem. Maybe this is wrong key offset problem and that will
be fixed by Emmanuel patch.
Regarding "Queue 2 stuck", there is another fix in iwlwifi that
did not make to iwlegacy, which perhaps could help. If not here
then maybe on suspend.

iwlwifi: always monitor for stuck queues
I'm attaching iwlegacy version of it.
> 2) It's always "Queue 2" that's stuck. What does that queue do?
It's TX queue, probably one used for default traffic i.e. for Best
Effort category (others are Video, Voice and Background).
