** Description changed:

  Lenovo Y700-17ISK (Intel Core i7-6700HQ/RAM 16GB/SSD 512GB/Nvidia GTX960M 4GB)
  Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial-desktop-amd64.iso 04-Mar-2016, kernel 4.4.0-10-generic, nvidia 361.28)
  
- Dmesg output:
+ After installing Xenial, I installed all available updates too, and then I examined detally dmesg output in order to see if everything is ok between Ubuntu and my new notebook.
+ One month ago, wifi didn't work - but now this issue seems solved, at least partially...
+ 
+ 
+ Current dmesg output:
  
  [    1.869368] iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-8000C-19.ucode failed with error -2
  [    1.869382] iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-8000C-18.ucode failed with error -2
  [    1.869392] iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-8000C-17.ucode failed with error -2
  [    1.869589] iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Unsupported splx structure
+ 
+ 
+ I'm not an expert so I'm not sure about all (potential) consequences of this firmware problem, but I know for certain that this problematic lines shouldn't exist inside my dmesg output.
+ 
+ When compared to other two Asus notebooks (both with Xenial installed on
+ ssd), my new Lenovo boots up much slower due to some other issues too:

Title:
  Lenovo Y700-17ISK: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi failed

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Lenovo Y700-17ISK (Intel Core i7-6700HQ/RAM 16GB/SSD 512GB/Nvidia GTX960M 4GB)
  Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial-desktop-amd64.iso 04-Mar-2016, kernel 4.4.0-10-generic, nvidia 361.28)

  After installing Xenial, I installed all available updates too, and then I examined detally dmesg output in order to see if everything is ok between Ubuntu and my new notebook.
  One month ago, wifi didn't work - but now this issue seems solved, at least partially...

  
  Current dmesg output:

  [    1.869368] iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-8000C-19.ucode failed with error -2
  [    1.869382] iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-8000C-18.ucode failed with error -2

  [    1.869589] iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Unsupported splx structure

  
  I'm not an expert so I'm not sure about all (potential) consequences of this firmware problem, but I know for certain that this problematic lines shouldn't exist inside my dmesg output.

  When compared to other two Asus notebooks (both with Xenial installed
  on ssd), my new Lenovo boots up much slower due to some other issues
  too:
