Francois Thirioux, just to clarify this bug report, this is a regression in Trusty update going from linux-firmware 1.127 to 1.127.10. As per https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/linux-firmware_1.127.tar.gz this is how 1.127 only included: /linux-firmware/iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode /linux-firmware/iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode
However, as per https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/linux-firmware_1.127.10.tar.gz it includes: /linux-firmware/iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode /linux-firmware/iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode While it is noted that the latest intel upstream firmware (iwlwifi-7260-ucode-23.10.10.0) fixes the issue, either this would have to be backported, the -9 firmware would have to be reverted back to -8, or some special sauce would have to be put in place for your specific variant (i.e. rev and Subsystem) of: 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 [8086:08b2] (rev 83) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 [8086:c270] I'll update the Bug Description and Tags accordingly. ** Tags removed: regression-release ** Tags added: regression-update ** Description changed: - In Ubuntu Trusty (Gnome) with my ThinkPad T440s using Intel 7260 ac - wireless the download speed reaches an upper limit 400 kB/s instead of - the normal 1500 kB/s I get with some other PC connected to my network. - The speed often slows down very very low, especially when I'm far away - from my AP.
