Sorry for the ambiguity. I filed a bug against the kernel in Debian
about this problem. Here it is:

673703: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673703

Anyhow they said it was a hardware/firmware issue and that they wouldn't
fix it themselves. They forwarded the issue upstream, to
linux-wireless.
