[Bug 1315221] Re: 8086:08b1 (rev 6b) [Dell XPS 13 9333] iwlwifi regularly loses connection/becomes unusable on Intel 7260

 

Those logs are only showing me what happened since the last boot. If you
can hunt down the syslog in /var/log which has that boot then that might
help.

Actually, what would be even better would be if you could download
http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/wifi-debug, make it executable,
then start running it (./wifi-debug -t). Then just leave it until you
start seeing problems, press Enter to stop it, and give me the wifi-
debug-files.tar.gz file that it creates. This file may be quite large if
it runs for a while, and it could also contain some small amount of
private data, so it's better not to attach it to the bug. You can email
it to me if it's not too big, or if you have access to some online
storage you could upload it there and send me a link. You might also
stop/restart it periodically if you're connection is working well to
help keep it from getting too big.

>From what you said about the mainline builds, it sounds like there
wasn't a single kernel version where everything got fixed. You say
3.15-rc1 was better and 3.15-rc3 was better still - did you ever test
the final release of 3.14? I'd like to know whether the improvement
happened between 3.14 and 3.15-rc1 or if it happened somewhere in 3.14.

Title:
  8086:08b1 (rev 6b) [Dell XPS 13 9333] iwlwifi regularly loses
  connection/becomes unusable on Intel 7260

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My Intel 7260 network card regularly shows very poor performance
  and/or loses its connection entirely. On several occasions I have been
  unable to reestablish an association with the AP without rebooting.
  This occurs even if the laptop is within a few feet of the AP. I did
  not have this problem on 12.04 with a quantal backport kernel.

  Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 [8086:08b1] (rev 6b)
  Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 [8086:c470]
