I've tested with v4.14-rc3 and can confirm that the problem still exists there.
Just a heads up for anyone trying to do the same: I had to put apparmor policy for sbin.dhclient in complaint mode for a connection to work on 17.04/4.14rc3, otherwise I was getting the following deny events: Oct 3 22:07:04 alx kernel: [ 1024.551892] audit: type=1400 audit(1507061224.451:1096): apparmor="DENIED" operation="create" profile="/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-helper" pid=8204 comm="nm-dhcp- helper" family="unix" sock_type="stream" protocol=0 requested_mask="create" denied_mask="create" ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720532 Title: WiFi connectivity drops randomly on Intel 8065 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1720532/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
