[Bug 1354975] Re: iwlwifi Intel 7260 Wifi disconnects
Looks that my internet connection is now stable even when downloading.
I'm not sure what of the three things that I did fixed the problem but
here what I did so that others can test further:
1. In the /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d directory in the file wireless I changed in the end of the file with two off so that there is no wireless powersave:
case $1 in
true) wireless_powersave off ;;
false) wireless_powersave off ;;
*) exit $NA ;;
esac
2. I also blacklisted wireless power management creating blacklist file :
sudo nano /etc/pm/config.d/blacklist
HOOK_BLACKLIST="wireless"
3. Third I installed wicd , without removing network manager , and with wicd I checked all other networks with "Never connect to this network" except mine network. So I don't have time to test further but downloading is working with better speed then before and is not interrupting anymore.
Once again my configuration:
linux mint 17
iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode
3.16.3-031603-generic
linux-firmware 1.127.4

Title:
iwlwifi Intel 7260 Wifi disconnects
Status in Unity Linux:
New
Status in “linux-firmware” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I experience frequent disconnects and auth issues, never more than 30
minutes without a disconnect. Sometimes dozens of disconnects in a few
minutes.
This happens with the default 7260-8 firmware.
Tried replacing the -8 with -9 ucode. Failed to load due to API version. This loaded the -7 driver which seems to be more stable.
Tested against 2.4ghz APs (Apple, Netgear, Linksys).
