Public bug reported: This issue has been resolved upstream and is described in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117391
The current Ubuntu Xenial Xerus kernel (4.4.0-21.37) is built with a version of the iwlwifi driver which supports firmware version up to iwlwifi-8000C-19.ucode. However, the matching linux-firmware package ships with the -16.ucode version of the firmware, which contains this bug. The next stable version of the firmware after -16.ucode is -21.ucode, but is not supported by the version of the iwlwifi driver in the 4.4.0 kernel. In order to fix this issue, either the minor version of the firmware (-19.ucode) needs to be included in the linux-firmware package or the iwlwifi driver in the kernel package needs to be upgraded with a backport of the iwlwifi driver new enough to support the -21.ucode firmware. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577800 Title: Frequent disconnects with Intel 8260 wireless NIC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1577800/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
