Sorry, Marc. Somehow your emails really slipped through the cracks and I hadn't seen them before. > 3 different ways it's failing now: > 1) CPU: 3 PID: 9349 at drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c:1913 iwl_trans_pcie_grab_nic_access+0xcc/0xe1 [iwlwifi] > Timeout waiting for hardware access (CSR_GP_CNTRL 0xffffffff) > > 2) > iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: loaded firmware version 19.277230.0 op_mode iwlmvm I kernel v4.9, we stopped supporting firmware versions smaller than 22 for the 8260. But unfortunately I made a mistake in the patch[1] when I removed support for those firmwares and I used 17, which is the lowest version for 7260 devices. I have just sent out a patch[2] with a fix for that. You can probably solve your problem by getting the latest firmware we have released, which is version 27. You can get it from the linux- firmware.git repository[3]. Please try that and let us know how it goes.
