[Bug 1436891] Re: 8086:08b3 Cannot connect to any 802.11n WiFi access points

 

Darren Peets, regarding the originally reported laptop, the next step is
to fully reverse commit bisect from kernel 4.1-rc1 to 4.0 in order to
identify the last bad commit, followed immediately by the first good
one. Once this commit has been identified, then it may be reviewed as a
candidate for backporting into your release. Could you please do this
following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#How_do_I_reverse_bisect_the_upstream_kernel.3F
?

Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit
bisecting.

Thank you for your understanding.
