I thought it might be worth to try the other versions of the FW. So I renamed the files like: sudo mv /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8265-36.ucode /lib/firmware/DONOTLOAD-iwlwifi-8265-36.ucode
Eventually I ended up with: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1811984 Apr 24 2018 /lib/firmware/DONOTLOAD-iwlwifi-8265-22.ucode -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2234528 Dez 5 2017 /lib/firmware/DONOTLOAD-iwlwifi-8265-27.ucode -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2307104 Dez 6 2017 /lib/firmware/DONOTLOAD-iwlwifi-8265-31.ucode -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2440780 Apr 25 2018 /lib/firmware/DONOTLOAD-iwlwifi-8265-34.ucode -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2498044 Jan 11 10:03 /lib/firmware/DONOTLOAD-iwlwifi-8265-36.ucode -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2389968 Nov 17 2017 /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8265-21.ucode All versions >=22 Failed, no change in behavior at all. When running with only 21 left it failed to load at all, see the following dmesg.

No chance to configure it in cmdline or UI tools. Therefore it seems I know no way to get wireless to work at all on my T580 :-/ is there a Wireless dongle that works well with Linux? If there is anything I can try to resolve this please let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1804841 Title: iwlwifi Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000. Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This seems to be a return of an existing bug, in newer hardware and microcode versions. Wireless card: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 [8086:24fd] (rev 78) Firmware version: 34.0.1 Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Frequent errors as soon as I connect to wifi: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000. Expected to happen: Great and stable wifi like a couple of weeks ago What happens: very slow, intermittent internet access, lots of ping loss Found a suggestion of a workaround: adding these lines to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no These lines were already there, not added by me.
