Well, this kept getting worse and worse. Newer kernels were much "better" provoking the HW crashes, but a few days ago I started seeing it even with very old kernels, which used to be rock stable.
I first ruled out a firmware update to be the cause.
So I dismanlted the notebook and replaced the wifi chip with another one (also driven by iwlwifi), and no failure after 2 days so far.
So it might turn out that this particular one was a red herring. If it happens again even with the replaced chip, I'll report back. Sorry for the noise.
