an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is
available (1.13). When you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does this improve the
situation?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Also, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed.

If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

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

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
