Would someone be so gracious as to detail the workaround for this bug until it is fixed? I disabled secure boot and tried to build Core18 using instructions from the wireless.wiki.kernel.org page but I still have firmware 16.242414.0 and my WiFi continues to disconnect. Here is a summary of the steps I followed:
cd /tmp/ git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git -b release/LinuxCore18 cd backport-iwlwifi/ make defconfig-iwlwifi-public sed -i 's/CPTCFG_IWLMVM_VENDOR_CMDS=y/# CPTCFG_IWLMVM_VENDOR_CMDS is not set/' .config # see web page subheading "About vendor commands" make -j4 sudo make install # displayed lots of SSL errors # reboot It appears that I have the updated module but it's not getting loaded: $ sudo find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name iwlwifi.ko -ls 1244072 352 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 359590 Oct 26 23:29 /lib/modules/4.4.0-47-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko 1305660 536 -rw-r----- 1 root root 545328 Nov 14 18:55 /lib/modules/4.4.0-47-generic/updates/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577800 Title: Frequent disconnects with Intel 8260 wireless NIC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1577800/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
