[Alfredo Gemma <alfredo.gemma@xxxxxxxxx>]

I tried to install the upstream kernel, but I think there is a
substantial problem with wifi management.

This error occurrs while installing the Kernel:

libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:635 kmod_config_parse:
/etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf line 8: ignoring bad line starting with
'iwlwifi'

Thanks

  Wireless keeps disconnecting no matter what Intel 7260 driver I use.
  Since this problem didn't occur in ubuntu 14.04, I guess it is kernel related.
