What can I do about this? My wireless card is unusable. Seems to be a spontaneous failure. This is the output of dmesg | grep iwlwifi: [ 7.206387] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 7.215066] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: loaded firmware version 36.7596afd4.0 op_mode iwlmvm [ 7.686950] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 8260, REV=0x208 [ 7.769839] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: base HW address: 14:ab:c5:7c:5e:a2 [ 7.770427] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Microcode SW error detected.

It resolved itself when I tried installing Windows 10 and running an update. Now when I try a clean install of Windows 10 it bluescreens on startup with probable cause Netwtw06.sys. Thanks, Tom.
