Hello!

Periodically, I get the fatal firmware error with iwm. I have to swith
off and on iwm to restart the Wi-Fi. I rebuild the kernel with "option
IWM_DEBUG" and attached the log with the error.
snapshot from 02 June 2016.

I can confirm that I have the same issue on the snapshot of 26 July.

I also have the same "bugs" regarding performance and need to use the
"mode 11g" workaround (which work from time to time, but not always).
I have a "Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7265" on a Lenovo X1 Carbon 2015.

Doubt its useful (bet lifayks debug is of more use) but here's a dmesg.

Hi, goord afternoon.

I have a similar problem. Sometimes I get the message "iwm0: fatal firmware
error" and then, I have to restart the network interface doing sh
/etc/netstart. But most of the time, I have internet access. Now, I've
added the option IWM_DEBUG in the kernel, I rebuilt the kernel and I'm
getting a lot of messages like: "sending command 0x4e qid 9, idx 215" (once
per second at least) and sometimes I get: "RX BA Session stopped in fw" You
have all the information in the attachment. Maybe this can help you a
little bit more :)
