[Bug 1325200] [NEW] Missing iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode causes connection problems

 

Public bug reported:

My WIFI card (Intel AC7260) looses connectivity every 15-45 minutes. The
network applet shows that I'm still connected to the WLAN but no packets
can be send. When I disconnect and reconnect in the applet it works
again.

The problem gets fixed by either installing
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode from
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=iwlwifi-7260-ucode-22.24.8.0.tgz
or disabling 802.11n mode in the driver.
