I downloaded and tried (via the ISO image) Ubuntu 13.10, for about a few hours, and the wifi connection held up fine without any disconnects.
Maybe 13.10 really does fix the issue -- or maybe I just need to try testing it more? But 13.10 uses kernel 3.12, whereas I have installed kernel 3.13 on my hard drive where I am experiencing the disconnects. It's unlikely kernel 3.13's regressed -- so maybe the problem really is in the 7260 firmware?? What's weird is that I diff'd a copy of 13.10's 7260 firmware against what the firmware I'm using on kernel 3.13 (that disconnects), and both appear to be identical. So, if the kernel's not regressed and the 7260 firmware is the same, I cannot explain why wifi connection appears to be stable under 13.10, but not under 12.04 with kernel 3.13... To make matters more complicated, I've just gone back to http://wireless.kernel.org, and now find someone's put up a new version of the 7260 release 7 firmware! The full 7260 firmware version is 22.1.7.0 whereas I'm sure it was 22.0.7.0 a couple days' ago... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1262388 Title: 8086:08b1 [Toshiba Satellite P55-A5312] Intel 7260 Wifi regularly crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-raring/+bug/1262388/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
