I had this issue with the iwlwifi firmware and constant microcode
software restarts. I reported it upstream and they asked me to try the
latest version. I tried iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.221.4.1.tgz and found that
it seems to fix the issue for me. Please upgrade to the new version.

How is an upgrade to the 6000-family microcode going to fix a bug
reported on a 4965 chip?

Obviously it isn't, but it will fix the same symptoms on 6000-family
chips, so an update would be appreciated.
