I am sorry for the ambiguity. I initially installed an official 13.10 release (totally wiping over my previous 12.04 install). But the first time I checked for updates, it immediately upgraded me to 14.04 -- even though the "System About" box from the gnome desktop still tells me I'm on 13.10! I

I'm not sure I would say it 100% works in the 13.10 live environment. I just noticed that iwlwifi didn't crash while testing for a number of hours. Even when the crash did occur on my installed 14.04, I'd been running it without crashes for a significantly longer period of time than the live 13.1

Yes, this bug definitely occurs at 14.04. I'm not sure if it did NOT occur under 13.10, because I upgraded to 14.04 immediately after installing 13.10, and didn't log back into Ubuntu in between. I have since found this issue reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/

Thank you , Christopher. As I noted in the bug report, I did install the mainline kernel 3.13 yesterday, and although the firmware crash still occurs, it appears there is restart logic in iwlwifi to restart the connection automatically. Beforehand, I would have to use rmmod and modprobe to reload
