Originally I answered Pat as he asked what's the status with the patch
concerning the firmware-issue.
So, my post was about applying this one (so I understood the open question).
I didn't care about the original concern of the reporter.
BTW, the mentioned patch is now in wireless.git (master-2012-04-24-2).

Currently, I have an issue myself on iwlwifi (6230) with Ubuntu
precise, but it looks like a bug in network-manager with 3.4-rc4+ (see
[1]).
