Intel Wireless 7260 - iwlwifi failed to load firmware chunk

Description

Upon upgrading to the 4.9.27 kernel and rebooting wifi ceased working on my laptop. Having communicated with Ikey about it he suggested manually installing a firmware update, but this had no effect. He suggested it would perhaps clear up with the 4.9.28 update, however it did not and has not with any subsequent updates. This issue has been experienced by at least one other Solus user with the same wireless card.

The following errors appear upon booting with 4.9.29-30:

Just commenting to say I have the same card, and haven't had any issues.

Just commenting to say I have to same card, and haven't had any issues.

Do you have a custom cmdline set up for the kernel? i.e. via /etc/kernel/cmdline

@ikey I haven't added one, nor are there any files in that directory (just the install.d directory)

@Elvanex Thanks for chiming in, because it may be something more specific to the HP laptop @Barksten and I appear to both be running. These are the results of inxi.

By the way, I attempted to boot with the irqpoll option. It cleared up some of the errors, but did not remedy the wifi problem.

Before:

After:

I should make it clear, however, that the IRQ errors appeared with the other problem, so I'm guessing they're interrelated somehow.

Ok. I have slightly different hardware:

@ryangorley Do you have some quick instructions for the workaround using the *-25 kernel?

@Barksten I am able to switch in the GRUB menu during boot. I have to be careful not to update when connected over ethernet on the bad kernel, otherwise the older kernel that works would get deleted. If yours is already deleted I don't know how to install a prior kernel manually.

@ikey I think I've isolated the issue. If I add the intel_iommu=off kernel boot parameter in GRUB I am able to boot on the current kernel without any errors or wireless issues. There is an unresolved Ubuntu bug report for the same problem with the same hardware: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1634108

@Barksten, this is how I made this change persist in /boot/grub/grub.cfg:

sudo nano /etc/kernel/cmdline

Then added the line:

intel_iommu=off

Saved and ran:

sudo clr-boot-manager update

During the process I nuked my old kernel, so we're in the same boat now! Fortunately it seems to be working. :)

Thanks alot @ryangorley !

FWIW:
I have a Dell (dude you got a Dell!) laptop with an Intel 7620 HMW -R ac card. I'm currently running Mint w/ kernel 4.4.0-79-generic. Mint doesn't make the 4.9 branch available to me, but I just loaded up the first kernel available in the 4.10 branch, 4.10.0-14-generic and the 7620 wifi card still works just fine with iwlwifi.

I then updated this to the latest kernel available from Mint, 4.10.0-22-generic and everything still works.
