Did not disect to the bottom - released version 3.16.0-28 corrects the problem, so I assume that someone beat me to it. Fixed and verified over the last few days by switching back and forth between -25 and -28. Wifi keeps dropping in -25, and stays stable overnight in -28. ** Changed in: linux

Thanks. I would still like to point out that the list http://people.canonical.com/~kernel/info/kernel-version-map.html is not up to date regarding kernel version 3.16-ubuntu, and that updating it could have saved some compilation hours in this case. However, Vanilla 3.15 fails with the same error

I have set up the git tree and successfully compiled and installed a few vanilla kernels. However, it seems that even the vanilla 3.16 also works - no dropouts in the last few evenings, where the Ubuntu 3.16.0.25 drops several times per hour. I have tried to find the correspondence between the

Niels Holmgaard, you would need to test the kernels in the mainline list until you either find a known bad one, or you are well behind the 3.16 version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

FYI, I seem to have this problem with my Dell XPS 13 (2014 Ubuntu Developer's Edition). This also has the Intel wifi chipset (Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 7260, REV=0x144). I had the same error messages and very similar overall behavior. I updated to the latest mainline kernel as suggested and

Niels Holmgaard, the next step is to fully reverse commit bisect from kernel 3.16 to 3.18-rc6 in order to identify the last bad commit, followed immediately by the first good one. Once this commit has been identified, then it may be reviewed as a candidate for backporting into your release. Could
