Probably just an AP issue only, that's why I really don't care. I've just
verified that it works fine at home. I use it once every few months, if
it doesn't work anymore with my previous kernel I consider that it's not
a kernel regression :-)  It just happens that I discovered the issue for
the first time in 4.9 so I believed it was a regression. If it had been
broken since 4.4, many daily users would have reported it ;-)

The driver is iwlwifi BTW.
