Does it work more reliably if you replace the firmware file as follows? Not sure if this will help or even work at all, but it might: mv /etc/firmware/iwm-7265D-29 /etc/firmware/iwm-7265D-29.orig cp /etc/firmware/iwm-7265-17 /etc/firmware/iwm-7265D-29 ifconfig iwm0 down up # force firmware reload If this helps then I could change the driver to load 7265-17 firmware file by default. The reason I'm asking is that our driver has issues with 7265D firmware. We are still using the 7265-17 image on 7265 devices because of this. The 3165 you have is the same chip, with some capabilities missing.
