ryan finnegan, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A97/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your BIOS is available (1605). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags removed: 14.04 7260 ac drop wifi ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1605 ** Tags added: regression-release ** Attachment removed: "lspci-vnvn.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1315202/+attachment/4102803/+files/lspci-vnvn.log ** Summary changed: - Intel AC7260 Drops AC WiFi + 8086:08b1 [Asus M5A97] Intel AC7260 Drops AC WiFi ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315202 Title: 8086:08b1 [Asus M5A97] Intel AC7260 Drops AC WiFi Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Running Ubuntu 14.04 since Beta 2 Desktop machine with Intel AC7260 + Bluetooth drops AC 5ghz wifi connection.
