[Bug 1002008] Re: 8086:0888 iwlwifi intermittent loss of connectivity

 

Leif Halldor Asgeirsson, as per
http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is available for
your BIOS (2.54). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

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

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

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  8086:0888 iwlwifi intermittent loss of connectivity

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Every so often I lose connectivity. This is very similar to bug
  #984552. Tricky to reproduce because it doesn't seem to affect me
  quite as frequently as the reporter of #984552. I will post ping
  output showing packet loss the next time I experience the bug.
