Things are working quite well for me, with my troublesome Amplifi APs 
(they've been problematic even back on 802.11a/b/g). From time to time I 
get disconnected and (it seems) I need to manually "sudo ifconfig wlan0 
scan" once or twice to get it to reconnect to the AP. One such event 
happened just a little while ago, after rebuilding/rebooting kernel 
revision main-6c3a4b5f9b7b.

See below for logs.

Other than that, there are no issues with suspend/resume (that I can say 
with any kind of certainty is iwlwifi's fault), speed is good, and it 
works better with my iPhone as hotspot than it has ever done - I can 
literally stay connected for many hours on end. In the past I'd often 
have to reboot the laptop in order to reconnect after losing connectivity.

Thanks again, to all that should be thanked!
