nathanael Gray, it's a common misconception that everything a BIOS update would help address is documented by the vendor.
Despite this, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-3.15-rc4 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags removed: bios-outdated-2.09 ** Tags added: latest-bios-2.09 ** Summary changed: - [Acer Aspire S7-392] Wifi keeps dropping + 8086:08b1 [Acer Aspire S7-392] Wifi keeps dropping ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Medium ** Tags added: needs-wifi-debug -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315816 Title: 8086:08b1 [Acer Aspire S7-392] Wifi keeps dropping To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1315816/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
