[Bug 1221202] Re: iwlwifi crash with "Microcode SW error detected"

 

Did this issue occur in a previous version of Ubuntu, or is this a new
issue?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.11 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  iwlwifi crash with "Microcode SW error detected"

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have an intel 7260 wifi card (it is a dual band). I have had a **lot** of trouble connecting to my router (also dual band). I don't know how I did but I managed to connect to the 2.4GHz AP but it is not very stable. However, I've never managed to connect to the 5.5GHz AP while it is listed as available. By looking at dmesg, the driver is crashing:
  ...
  [   74.358662] wlan0: authenticate with a6:b1:e9:ae:61:a2
  [   74.359848] wlan0: send auth to a6:b1:e9:ae:61:a2 (try 1/3)
  [   74.360756] wlan0: authenticated
  [   74.364053] wlan0: associate with a6:b1:e9:ae:61:a2 (try 1/3)
  [   74.373879] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Microcode SW error detected.  Restarting 0x2000000.
  ...

  Then the wifi is dead and I have to reboot.
