When the problem happen, could you please dump the tx_queue status in
debugfs and send us the information

In order to dump the the tx_queue, please do the following
1. make sure you compile your kernel with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS=y
2. unload and reload the "iwlagn" module
3. cd to /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/iwlwifi/debug (phX: "X" based
on your system)
4. "$sudo cat tx_queue" to show the current tx queue status

Thanks
Wey
