The message is bogus, it has nothing to do with autoconfiguration. "Fatal error" is a bit in the interrupt cause register of the intel chipset. The driver can not do anything about it and resets the device (simmilar to a "ifconfig iwi0 down). This is not a good error handling strategy, as you have noticed - and it is also done very wrong in the iwi_softintr handler. The driver should clear the interrupt, schedule a reset and ignore all other activity untill the reset has happened. Of course the reset should include bringing up the device to full working state again. However, this is obviously not easy to test and debug, as you will have to be in a setup where this happens often enough (like your's). If you have patience and would be able to help with this: compile your kernel with "options IWI_DEBUG" and see if that enables enough login to give us a hint about the cause. If that is not enough you would need to raise iwi_debug to more than the default level of 4, but that would spam your log with every received packet. Please file a PR and lets collect data there.
