I'm just curious. Does the card was installed in the laptop by default?
If so what is the model of the laptop?

I observed quite similar issue on some rt2800 devices when
I applied  this patch:
https://github.com/sgruszka/wireless-drivers-next/commit/846d205edd8c36d1b7828fee54bf4cf40bf8cb1a
It works on some devices and does not work on others with similar
symptoms - correctly associate but stop to work as soon as some
data traffic is performed.

So, I would check if send IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE frames
with qsel = MT_QSEL_EDCA would help. 

Another thing to try is checkout vendor driver and see if there is need
to add extra code if device is_mt7612() .
