Description David Flogeras 2016-10-08 14:33:37 UTC

Would it be possible to get a newer rollup of the upstream repo?  There have been firmware blob fixes made to the Intel iwlmvm based chipsets that greatly improved my experience (running from -9999), and should be made available to everyone.

Reproducible: Always
