Well that is not obviously allways the case (at least for me)

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13362

There you have bisected with a one-liner that I still have to revert
myself release after release.
They are probably waiting until I buy another wifi card ... :(

that is why I said 'probably' above.

having said that, you should probably post about this on the kernel mailing list (you do not need to be subscribed to do so), and CC Linus. This is the sort of thing that causes him to jump on the maintainers (and sometimes do the revert himself if the maintainers choose to not revert the problem)

unfortunately at this point it's been broken long enough for other people to make the claim that it doesn't matter much since others haven't complained, but that's usually not considered an acceptable answer when there is a person with the hardware (you) complaining.
