Hi, there.
I am encountering some bugs with iwlwifi.ko in Linux 3.11.6.
My laptop is a ThinkPad X240s with Network controller Intel Corporation
Wireless 7260 (rev 6b). I have Arch Linux with kernel 3.11.6 installed
on it. The wireless works out-of-box, thanks for your work!
However, after using wireless for some time (could be either an hour
with normal web page browsing, or several hours with heavy Internet
downloading), the wireless works abnormally. The sympton is that every
connection get lost, and the hardware "timed out" when I try to take
down or take up the interface with `ip link set wlan0 down' or `ip link
set wlan0 up'. When this bug occurs, even reloading the kernel modules
(with `modprobe') could not bring the wireless back alive. What I could
only do is to reboot the laptop.
After encountering this bug for several times, I found something useful
in `dmesg', as I've attached. Please take a look at the log and find out
then squash this bug.
If I could be helpful by providing more debugging information please let
me know.
Sincere regards.
