Did not disect to the bottom - released version 3.16.0-28 corrects the problem, so I assume that someone beat me to it.
Fixed and verified over the last few days by switching back and forth between -25 and -28. Wifi keeps dropping in -25, and stays stable overnight in -28. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1396338 Title: [Dell Latitude E7440] Wifi keeps dropping with Intel Wireless 7260 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: After the connection is dropped, a hardware switch disconnect/connect is necessary to re-establish connection, the connection does not automatically reappear. The problematic line in the dmesg output is: wlan0: deauthenticated from 00:16:b6:01:69:74 (Reason: 7=CLASS3_FRAME_FROM_NONASSOC_STA) The frequency of the problem drops considerably moving to a less congested channel, but it still happens - I am stationary at about 3 meters from the access point. Other devices (Android phones, iPad, other laptops) are connecting to the same access point with no problems at all.
