Hold on please. IT informed us that there is something broken with our WPA2 Enterprise WiFi hotspots. A connection to an unencrypted WiFi works correctly; the issue only starts to manifest when I try to connect to our WPA2 Enterprise wifi.
Perhaps it's the hotspot which is actually broken, and not the wifi on my machine; and maybe intel driver just reacts lousily to a broken hotspot with crashes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1809215 Title: intel wifi 8260 stopped working after bios upgrade Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Good day, my wifi stopped connecting to WPA2 Enterprise, right after I've upgraded BIOS. The BIOS upgrade could cause this; I was also playing with bluetooth headphones which could be connected. The Wifi works properly in Windows 10, so I assume it's not a hardware bug. The interesting line in dmesg: [ 133.921138] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x92000000. I thought the microcode file could be corrupted, so I've tried apt install --reinstall linux-firmware and reboot, but that didn't work. dmidecode -s bios-version says N1EET81W (1.54 ); dmesg says LENOVO 20EN0005MS/20EN0005MS, BIOS N1EET81W (1.54 ) 11/14/2018 Thank you for providing any pointers...
