Okay, so I did some further research. I found that my linux-firmware package was not upgrading. It was stuck at some ancient version. That is why I didn't have the updated firmware. The weird thing was that "apt- get dist-upgrade" was not showing is as a package that needed upgrading. However, "apt

It seems to work much better with firmware version 9 on the mainline 3.17.4. I don't see any of the firmware SW error messages. I will reboot now and try the normal utopic kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ub

Oh yeah, this works a million times better with firmware v9 on the utopic kernel. The V8 firmware appears to be broken with my setup. Is there any chance that the v9 firmware for the 7620 at http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi/ can be added to linux-firmware? Also, why isn't apport

There is a performance impact in that my WIFI sometimes drops out with no seeming cause. I usually have to stop networking and restart it in the network manager menu. I don't know if this is related to the microcode software. I know that I was having some issues in 14.04. However, I don't know if

Warren Turkal, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Are you having any performance impact on using WiFi? Did this problem not occur in a release prior to 14.10? Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page
