I have a 5100 running -HEAD. It's fine. Just disable bgscan (ifconfig
wlan0 -bgscan) and it should be okay in most situations.

It does seem to cope very badly in noisy situations. I'm not sure why,
sorry. I'd appreciate whatever help people can give in syncing it more
with iwlwifi / iwlegacy (for 4965 support) to pick up hardware fixes.
