System running 12.10 also experiencing the microcode error, resulting in
drop outs, high packet loss and routing issues.

I can confirm disabling 11n option gives me a rock solid connection:
$ sudo su
$ echo 'options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1' >> /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
$ rmmod iwlwifi
$ modprobe iwlwifi
