[Bug 944271] Re: iwlwifi: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000

 

I was too fast to post previous message after some 10 minutes of
testing. However a recent driver upgrade from 3.13.0-45-generic to
3.13.0-46-generic (with the same firmware) has apparently solved this
issue for me. At least, dmesg does not contain such errors after an hour
of heavy network usage and the network seems to be stable. The version
numbers above are the ones reported by lshw for my wifi card.
