that the memory slots and mini-pcie slots are behind the same cover in

I wish they were! They are in X4? and X30? but not X200s, where I had to
remove the keyboard and handrest to get to the card. Most annoying.
This is why I haven't tried it on my system.
Nevertheless, the RAM is quit directly on the opposite side of the
motherboard
compared to the miniPCI slots (there are two: one is empty, I guess it is
meant for 3g), so I would not rule out the miniPCI card moving when addin RAM.
Especially since I now have almost 3 days of uptime without problems! This is
the record since my problems started except for disabling 802.11n and
powersave completely, which gave me about a week.
I will report back when I loose wifi again or in two weeks if I do not loose
it by then (in which case I will assume it was indeed loose in its socket).
You are forgetting that you also added:
pcie_aspm=off
to your kernel boot command line. Since I did the same thing and have
also suddenly enjoyed quite stable WIFI for the first time, I would
venture to guess that your problem was not the seating of the card but the
"pcie_aspm" option setting.
If you want to confirm, you might want to remove that boot option and see
if the problem returns. If so, this would be the first really useful
confirmation of a specific source for the "deep sleep" problem and
provide a workaround for it that others can use, though someone who is
familiar with this aspect of the Linux kernel will have to decide what
this means in terms of hardware/software issues, what is causing the
fault, and how to fix it.
