[Bug 1403142] Re: [Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2nd Gen 20A7, 20A8] iwlwifi intel 7260 network does not connect

 

I found a workaround that I introduce here for the case it can help some
other people in my situation, as well as for the case it gives a clue
for a potential fix:

- I duplicated my local wifi connection and in one of the two I modified the default options to adhoc, B/G 2.4GHz, Channel 1 (I also changed the label to know which one is each)
- Then I manually connect the modified wifi connection, but right at the time it is requesting an IP, I rapidly connect the other (default) connection

If I do it in this specific order, then the default network works. If I
just try to connect either of the two without replicating this sequence,
the two fail miserably.

Hope it helps

Title:
  [Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2nd Gen 20A7,20A8] iwlwifi intel 7260
  network does not connect

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  Connection to the home and university wireless fail to connect. In the terminal I see repeated messages "no association and the time is already over". In contrast I can work and send this bug report through the hot spot wireless of my cellphone with no problem. I checked many bugs on the internet and tried many different things, none of those succeeded. For instance, I tried kernel from the proposed repository, I tried with multiple options of the iwlwifi module, I tried installing new versions of the firmware. Hence, I decided to report this new bug, as the issue may be different to others.
