I just finished configuring F25 on a new Dell precision 7520
(essentially same as 7510) with Samsung's PM961 1TB PCIe M.2 SSD
"disk". Wonderously fast! Boots in like 2 seconds. KDE comes up in 5.

HOWEVER:

In the boot messages (/var/log/messages) I see these lines:

kernel: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux
...
kernel: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-8265-28.ucode 
failed with error -2
...

kernel: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: L1 Enabled - LTR Enabled
kernel: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0 wlp2s0: renamed from wlan0
...

There's a few more iwlwifi related messages when NetworkManager comes
up.  No errors.  Things appear to work fine.  Then sometime later
(could be minutes or hours, in the middle of a large download,
the transfer rate goes to nearly 0 and a boatload of messages like this
dump into /var/log/messages:

kernel: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Microcode SW error detected.  Restarting 
0x82000000.
kernel: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: CSR values:

kernel: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0:                   CSR_RESET: 0X00000000
...

After this, the "Microcode SW ..." message appear every few
seconds or minutes with the boatload of CSR values.

I have to reboot to get things right.  Then it (intermittently)
happens again on some future download.

Is this a hardware bug that I'll be stuck with forever?  If so,
I have only a short time to return the Dell before "it's mine".

Your help will be greatly appreciated!

By the way: "lspci | fgrep -i wireless"  returns

02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)
