Public bug reported:

My base system where the problem occurs is Ubuntu 17.04 with distro
provided kernel 4.10 (-19, -33, -35), although the same was occuring on
16.04 LTS (that's actually why I've switched to 17.04).

WiFi stops working randomly, usually after couple of minutes after
system starts. There is no indication in the UI that anything is wrong
(Network manager things all is good). Most of the time nothing can be
seen in syslog or dmesg. Very rarely there are logs from NetworkManager
indicating that it actually reconnects:

Sometimes this automatic reconnection helps, if it happens at all.
Restarting NetworkManager manually also helps, although not always after
the first try. Then problem always occurs again after couple of minutes.

What I've tried so far:

- tested with upstream kernel linux-image-4.13.2-041302-generic,
- tested with upstream kernel linux-image-4.12.13-041213-generic,
- turning 11n mode off via 11n_disable=1 iwlwifi option
- tested with a newer firmware from Intel (stock kernel uses 
iwlwifi-8265-22.ucode 22.391740.0 op_mode iwlmvm from firmware package; I've 
additionaly successfully run with iwlwifi-8265-27.ucode and 
iwlwifi-8265-31.ucode for 4.12 and 4.13 kernels respectively).

The result of this tests is that firmware versions or 11n mode off
didn't seem to influence anything. The only scenario when the problem
didn't occur was running 4.12.13. On 4.13.2 problems where the same. The
results are very consistent: really no need to wait for a problem to
occur on faulty configurations, and days without any problem on 4.12.13
(here drops never actually occurring).

I've always tested with the same hot spot, which doesn't cause any
problems with multiple other devices.
