While this may certainly be a driver bug, all my disconnection issues vanished after upgrading to a new WiFi router.
Old router with iwlwifi disconnect issues: BUFFALO|WHR-HP-G54 125M R New Router without any problems: TP-LINK| ARCHER C7 R Not ideal, but apparently a feasible "workaround" (if you need a new router anyways). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1354975 Title: iwlwifi Intel 7260 Wifi disconnects Status in Unity Linux: New Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I experience frequent disconnects and auth issues, never more than 30 minutes without a disconnect. Sometimes dozens of disconnects in a few minutes. This happens with the default 7260-8 firmware. Tried replacing the -8 with -9 ucode. Failed to load due to API version. This loaded the -7 driver which seems to be more stable. Tested against 2.4ghz APs (Apple, Netgear, Linksys).
