WiFi is initialy working, but it has strange problems waking up after sleep. It
will behave unpredictable and sometimes a reboot is required to get WiFi back.
When I download iwlwifi-8000C-34.ucode from
http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/linux-firmware/ and copy it it
/lib/firmware, the error disapears. Also, the problems with WiFi and waking up
are gone.
Apparently iwlwifi-8000C-34.ucode is not provided by firmware-iwlwifi
