@ Emmanuel Not to sound pessimistic, but there seems to be a rather wild different between one 7260 to the next 7260. Myself and two co-workers got the same XPS 13 with Ubuntu. The other two had no issues, while I would disconnect continuously, often times even when we were in the same room. We were running the same distro and everything. Even when I swapped the card three times, antenna twice, and the motherboard once, the issue persisted. Ultimately this resulted in me trading up the XPS 13 under warranty for a Latitude E7440 with Ubuntu, so it worked out (for me) despite the issue not having been "fixed". Likewise, a friend of mine had a laptop with a 7260 chip where he had nothing but issues despite the extensive amount of troubleshooting and testing he did. He ended up buying another 7260 based laptop ready to swap the chip but he ended up having no issues, so he just kept chugging along with it.
There's a massive thread on the Intel forums with seemingly no answer. Users from all types of distributions and operating systems are posting about their issues, from 7 to 8 to Arch and Ubuntu. I want this fixed in ways I cannot begin to describe, but we're about 1.5 years in since this card's release with no "official" fix, just odds and ends tweaks that seem to help one or two users, but not everybody. I can't help but to feel that this is some sort of hardware issue. Unfortunately, Intel has been rather quiet about it, so at this point it's nothing more than an assumption. Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293569 Title: iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode causes network disconnections problems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1293569/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
