I just ran sha1sum against the download in that link above as well as
the 7260 8.ucode that is currently in /lib/firmware and confirm they
match. It seems as if I am indeed running the latest patch that is in
proposed after all. As a result, something is still wildly wrong, or
else I did something wrong... and believe me I'd rather know I goofed
than know that this bug is still not fixed, so by all means fire away if
you think I goofed somewhere. But all I can say is this very laptop is
the only one with continual disconnects while everything else works
flawlessly.

What's funny is for several days I had no issues at home whatsoever. I
had actually forgotten that this was even a problem until I suddenly
couldn't get any work done or transfer anything of significant size (200
MB+) from my server without the connection tanking altogether.

P.S. - As I went to hit "post comment" as I got done typing this message
I lost connection yet again. I then ran a cat against syslog and copied
everything over the last few minutes into a pastebin in case it helps.

Bug description:
  Running 14.04 (beta) with Kernel 3.13.0-17-generic

  I've encountered a strange and reproducible error with the
  iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode firmware.

  This laptop is a Dell XPS 12 (haswell). With the -8 firmware, it will
  connect fine to wifi for 30 or 40 mins at a time, then will start
  dropping connections repeatedly. Even modprobe -r unloading and
  reloading doesn't fix the issue, only a reboot will temporarily solve
  it for 40 mins at a time.

  Moreover, here is what's strange, is during these episodes of
  disconnection it seems to affect the actual router (2Wire), as the
  other devices in the house will also start to have issues (very slow
  connections, limited range,etc).  Once I reboot this laptop everything
  and all devices will return to normal.

  This issue has been fixed by me manually removing the -8 firware from
  /lib/firmware and letting the -7 firmware load instead. Since that has
  been done there has not been a single issue of this happening (now
  going on 4 days).

  let me know if there is any other information you would like me to
  provide.
