I'm on a Dell XPS 13 with Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.13.0-24 and I'm not affected by this problem. I checked and, even though the -8 firmware exists in /lib/firmware, my iwlwifi module is only loading the -7 firmware.
If this can help in any way (i.e. why is my laptop loading the -7 module while other presumably identical ones aren't) please let me know, I can provide any details or diagnostic information needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293569 Title: iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode causes network disconnections problems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1293569/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
