I'm not sure I would say it worked well, but it did fix one of two problems. The second was only fixed after both driver and firmware upgrades. I'm no longer running the 19.ucode version. Would apport data for the 21 version with the updated driver be useful?

However, the matching linux-firmware package ships with the -16.ucode version of the firmware, which contains this bug. The next stable version of the firmware after -16.ucode is -21.ucode, but is not supported by the version of the iwlwifi driver in the 4.4.0 kernel. In order to fix this issue, either the minor version of the firmware (-19.ucode) needs to be included in the linux-firmware package or the iwlwifi driver in the kernel package needs to be upgraded with a backport of the iwlwifi driver new enough to support the -21.ucode firmware.
