Since a couple of days (I assume with the update to 3.7.5 or 3.7.6) My WiFi connection will break down if the load is too high (like YT 720p)
So far I figured out that the problem existed before, but was solved with a driver update.

Any help is appreciated.

I have exactly the same card and haven't had any problems with it. The only differences I can see are my latency is 32 and cache line size is 4 bytes.
Everything else looks the same, so doesn't look like a driver problem.

Weirdest thing. I rolled back to 3.7.5, to see if it works. It did. Updated to 3.7.8 again and it still does. So either it was some package that was updated too, or something went wrong with the first update...
Although I like problems that solve themselves that's kinda weird.

I reinstalled due to a HDD replacement and my inability to make a proper backup. Since then I'm bugged by this issue again. Additionally the connection breaks down randomly. Could be a reception or interference issue, but the card works just fine with Windoze (parallel install) so it seems less likely.
journalctl shows me the infamous deathenticating due to local choice (reason=3)
So far I tried disabling the IPv6 stack, without success, and using netcfg instead of networkmanager, without success as well. Using the proprietary driver got me a kernel panic.
I have no idea what else to try... Please help.

Solved by getting a new WiFi card with an Atheros chipset. And that's still cheaper than a 20m cat6 cable...
