So yeah, you were right when you said it's related to the BIOS, I just
thought you said reloading the module fixed it which I thought was very

ignore that.
I on the other hand, have the issue of iwlwifi sometimes stops working and
rmmod iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifi fixes (most of the time) the issue.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04, just for kicks I tried loading the kernel 3.6
backport modules which made the situation worse. I have historically tried
to bug report here a few times before without anyone replying, so I
stopped since I figured there wasn't anyone interested.

If someone could tell me what information I can provide that might be
important to bring the development forward, I'm all game.
