Thank you for report Märt. This is already known issue: http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1918 Unfortunately I don't think we can do anything more then they do. I'll close this bug at the moment since we really can do nothing... If you really wish to help, read upstream bug report, enable debugging and add comment there.
In the mean time, downgrading to =net-wireless/iwl4965-ucode-228.57.2.23 solved the issue for me (had problems of the card dropping the connection after transmitting more than a MB or two.
Jimmy if you want to help, please, report upstream: http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2052 or here http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1918
