I think the other problem is that https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifihttps://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi says to use 'iwlwifi-8000-ucode-16.242414.0.tgz' for 4.3+ kenrels. and strangely says "iwlwifi-8000-ucode-25.30.13.0.tgz" for 4.1+ kernels. Unless I'm crazy, it didn't have -25 when I looked last time. Is there a way to keep what I thought was the canonical page, up to date? Firmware 27 seems to work, but I'm getting allocation error/warnings? iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: L1 Enabled - LTR Enabled Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux Copyright(c) 2003- 2015 Intel Corporation iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-8000C-28.ucode failed with error -2 iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Falling back to user helper iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: capa flags index 3 larger than supported by driver iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: loaded firmware version 27.455470.0 op_mode iwlmvm iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 8260, REV=0x208 iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: L1 Enabled - LTR Enabled iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: L1 Enabled - LTR Enabled cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 1 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 24 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 32 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 6 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 7 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 1 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 8 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 16 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 8 pages, ret: -12 ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-mvm-rs' thermal thermal_zone3: failed to read out thermal zone (-5) iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: L1 Enabled - LTR Enabled iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: L1 Enabled - LTR Enabled cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 1 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 24 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 32 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 6 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 7 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 1 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 8 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 16 pages, ret: -12 cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 8 pages, ret: -12 iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: L1 Enabled - LTR Enabled iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: L1 Enabled - LTR Enabled Thanks, Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
