The problems became most pronounced after I installed a Ruckus Access Point and my PC's wifi connection was failing intermittently several times each day. I would lose the wifi connection and could not get it back by restarting NetworkManager or network services. Most of the time, I had to reboot to get my wifi connection back. I first worked around the problem by disabling 802.11N with "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" in /etc/modprobe.d. However, I found a permanent fix with the help of Emmanuel Grumbach at Intel after I posted the problem at linuxwifi@intel.com. The fix was to install the Core14 release of the firmware and driver at: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi/core_release Copy the firmware to /lib/firmware with: "cp iwlwifi-7260-17.ucode /lib/firmware/" Then, compile and install the driver as per these instructions: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi/core_release#how_t... With this fix I've now been running for five days without a problem and I'm getting speeds of 300+ mbps with my Ruckus AP. The only problem is that I will need to reinstall the firmware and driver each time that I get a kernel update from the standard Leap 42.1 repos. Therefore, the OpenSUSE folks need to integrate this fix into Leap 42.1 so as to avoid this one drawback. In the mean time, I will manually reinstall the firmware and drivers after each kernel update. This isn't a huge inconvenience given the infrequency of kernel updates and the ease of installing the Core14 release from Intel. I hope that the OpenSUSE Leap 42.1 team will seriously consider adding this fix to Leap 42.1 soon. This bug is a deal breaker for people running the Intel 726X cards, its easily fixed with this Intel software update and needs to be integrated with Leap 42.1 ASAP.
