Bug#849330: firmware-iwlwifi: intel 8260 does not work when using modfile /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8000C-22.ucode and kernel 4.8
Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Version: 20161130-2
Severity: important
Hello Maintainer,
Using a laptop with an intel 8260 wifi chip (HP Zbook 15 G3) and linux kernel 4.8, wifi does not work.
This is a known problem; see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/51271
It looks like the answer is that the debian package does not contain the latest fixes.
I can fix the problem by following the directions in the website link given above:
- copy / move /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8000C-22.ucode, and the kernel will then use /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8000C-21.ucode, which works.
