somehow I could once with kernel 4.16.2 and linux-firmware 1.173 get it working:
kernel: iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: loaded firmware version 36.e91976c0.0 op_mode iwlmvm kernel: iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 8260, REV=0x208 ...but could not reproduce it and rest of times could not get working. Tried to purge original linux-firmware and reinstalled, also deleted all manually added firmware packages but still no results. Currently working with 4.15.17 and linux-firmware 1.173: kernel: iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: loaded firmware version 34.0.1 op_mode iwlmvm kernel: iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 8260, REV=0x208 ** Changed in: linux-firmware (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1704799 Title: iwlwifi: 8260: missing iwlwifi-8000C-{22..30}.ucode firmware To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1704799/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
