Bug Description

Wireless not working after fresh install of Ubuntu 16.10.

Intel Wireless 8260 [8086:24f3] (rev 3a),
Subsystem: 8260 [8086:0130], iwlwifi

Tried numerous posted solutions (> 8 hours).
Nothing worked. Finally figured out it's the
firmware.

/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8000C-22.ucode ==> NO WIFI
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8000C-21.ucode ==> WORKS!

workaround: move or rename -22. reboot. then -21 is loaded.
