[Bug 1405437] Re: [Dell Precision M4800] iwlwifi regularly loses connection on Intel 7260
10) I could not figure out how to try compat-wireless. Could someone
please improve documentation on how to do that? Many other bug reporters
might benefit from that as well.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LinuxWireless#Compat-
wireless_from_upstream tells to use instructions from page that does not
contain instructions. It also tells to use latest development branch
from a page that only lists stable releases.
I would really appreciate steps like "download latest from this list,
run following commands, reboot".

Title:
[Dell Precision M4800] iwlwifi regularly loses connection on Intel
7260
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
About every 10 minutes my WiFi disconnects and a line like this appears in syslog:
Dec 24 11:31:31 work kernel: [ 2721.017478] wlan0: deauthenticated from 10:c6:1f:2c:49:56 (Reason: 7=CLASS3_FRAME_FROM_NONASSOC_STA)
It is accompanied later by such line:
Dec 24 11:31:46 work NetworkManager[902]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: activated -> failed (reason 'SSID not found') [100 120 53]
The network disappears from the list and only becomes visible after I
disable and re-enable networking via the network applet.
I don't remember seeing this problem at work where they use Cisco
routers. I see the problem at home with my Speedport 723V Typ A router
(a+b+n mode, WPA2). This may be affected by number of other wifi
networks which are visible here: at least 17 at the moment.
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 [8086:08b1] (rev 73)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 [8086:4470]
WORKAROUND: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf :
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
Drops did not cause loss of my network, and reconnects happened mostly
in the same second. However at some moments there were just too many
drops.
