Unfortunately as the issue is intermittent, it is difficult to pinpoint
a starting version exactly, but here's my best attempt:

Ubuntu zesty 4.10 series: definitely not affected

Ubuntu artful 4.12 kernels: problem not observed, though other iwlwifi
issues (bug 1719210) observed - probably not affected

Ubuntu artful 4.13 kernels: 4.13.0-12.13 (current) definitely affected,
unable to conclusively comment if earlier artful versions affected or
not, due to already swapping kernels around a lot at the time
troubleshooting the other mentioned bug.


It's worth noting that there is a large change in the versions of the Intel 
iwlwifi firmware microcode loaded to the device between these mentioned kernel 
versions. Regrettably newer versions of the kernel have dropped support 
entirely for interacting with the known good microcode version, so it isn't 
possible to test changing the kernel and microcode versions independently.
