Bug#939262: firmware-iwlwifi: Consider update to newest version (20190815)
Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Version: 20190717-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
It looks like a newer version of modules is available as version 20190815:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tag/?h=20190815
I have a newer Lenovo Yoga X1 (Gen 4) and the 20190717 wifi firmware
does not work ("SYNC CMD GEO_TX_POWER_LIMIT" error). Through some
searching I saw that there were other reports of upgrades needed to the
underlying firmware. I manually installed 20190815 and this resolved the
issue (wifi works now)
