Recently I upgraded my system to head from 10-stable:

While the 10-STABLE setup was never a pillar of reliability, HEAD seems to
have made things worse for my wifi setup.  Now my connections drops out
several times a day at least resulting in logs such as this:

wpa_supplicant[81975]: wlan0: Authentication with 28:c6:8e:e6:04:7c timed
out.

Under 10-STABLE, such events were usually only a few times a week.

I've just disabled N to see if that helps, but is the decreased reliability
expected?  Is there anything I can do to improve stability and preserve N?

Thanks,
