Comment 72 for bug 1293569

@ Jason Gerard DeRose

Thanks for your tip, but I'm a little confused. I ran grep before I downloaded/extracted anything as you recommended above, and I got:

jason@JSXPS:~$ dmesg | grep iwlwifi
[ 4.927130] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: irq 60 for MSI/MSI-X

Does the line "[ 5.010242] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: loaded firmware version 22.24.8.0 op_mode iwlmvm" not indicate that I am on the newer firmware?

I came back here after I started having issues here at home. I must have disconnected from my home router six times this evening while I'm sitting across the room from it. I had proposed enabled so I could pull down Unity 7.2.2 for an unrelated bug test, so that line with the 8 entry makes me wonder if I got the update without realizing it. What concerns me is if I *did* get the update, then this clearly is not fixed... since, after all, if it were fixed I wouldn't have lost connection so many times tonight (I tested other laptops and had no issue. In one instance, my laptop disconnected while others were all connected and actively pulling large ISO files wirelessly from my file server). Sadly, I even just now lost wireless again as I was typing this...

Before I begin tinkering with switching this or that I wanted to get some confirmation here by the folks who clearly know more so I can be accurate with what I'm doing. Thanks!
