Subject: iwlwifi broken in current -git

Hi,

Just upgraded my laptop, and iwlwifi won't connect. Not specific to
the AP, tried a few and no go. Here are the dmesg from loading and
trying to connect, at some point it just gives up and asks me for
a password again. v5.4 works just fine.

The laptop is a gen7 x1 carbon.

We know and are working on a fix, the iwlwifi driver does NAPI
completions improperly.

You can set /proc/sys/net/core/gro_normal_batch to '1' as a
temporary workaround.

Great thanks, that works for me.
