I have had trouble with all Intel drivers, ipw, iwi, wpi, and iwn. (As 
an exception, recently, iwn was very stable on 8-STABLE.) For most 
notebooks, I bought Atheros based MiniPCI(e) cards and everything was fine.

5 to 10 Euros on Ebay including shipping. Initially, I was hesitant, 
too, because I wanted the hardware I already got to work, but eventually 
I decided that it is not worse it. ath simply works. (I have had wi, 
ral, ural, rum, and zyd, too. Over the years, nothing was as 
unproblematic as ath.)

For most notebooks, the wireless MiniPCI(e) card is very easy to replace.
