I tried to test 4.6, but that version is even *more* unstable than 4.4
---- the connection drops out consistently every couple minutes or so.

Also, that version still uses the old firmware, so the driver hasn't yet
been upgraded to master of the authors:

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream

Title:
  Intel 7265D wifi firmware crashes on a Lenovo x1 carbon (3rd
  generation)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The stock firmware for this device /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-
  7265D-16.ucode is crashing.

  Downloading the latest firmware (/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265D-21.ucode)
  isn't supported by the existing iwlwifi driver, and so the driver
  likely needs to be upgraded (or downgraded as well
  (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-
  iwlwifi.git/?h=release/LinuxCore18).

  I can also confirm that wifi *did* work successfully on 15.10 before
  upgrading to 16.04, although the kernel module required frequent
  restarts due to this bug:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/linux/+bug/1570595

  
  A detailed message about the firmware crash is located in the attachment from dmesg output.

  Thanks.
