I'm really just wanting to know when things actually got better. Right
now all I'm certain of is that 3.13 is bad and 3.15-rc3 is good. If we
could narrow that down to one -rc being bad and the next one being good,
or 3.14 being bad and 3.15-rc1 being good. Then I could look for commits
which might be related, or worst case run a bisect between those two to
find what actually solved your problem, so we can hopefully backport the
fix to 3.13.

It's probably also a good idea to test 3.15-rc3 or later with the -8 and
-9 firmware to see if that was responsible. Unfortunately that's an
awful lot to test, espeically for a problem that takes a while to show
up. Hopefully the wifi-debug data will give a better idea where to look.
In the mean time I'll look at the syslog you attached and see what I can
learn.
