Bug Description
Intel NUC's from Axiomtek with Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev bb) chipsets. We have this running on almost 200 of these devices.
Ubuntu 16.04.3 as well as Ubuntu 14.04.5
"loaded firmware version 17.608620.0 op_mode iwlmvm"
linux-firmware trusty: 1.127.24
linux-firmware xenial: 1.157.14
The wireless driver will crash at least daily, if not multiple times in a day depending on the machine. Swapping the chipset out for an Atheros works just fine.
I have followed the many other bug reports related to this same chipset and they are either marked incomplete, refer to hardware we aren't running or have been marked as fix released.
The latest linux-firmware did not resolve or change the behavior of the issue.
Output from dmesg when the crash occurs:

This is a duplicate of https:/ /bugzilla. kernel. org/show_ bug.cgi? id=191601, which also contains a script that might be able to reset your card without a reboot.
Please see my longer comments here: https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ linux-firmware/ +bug/1673344. In summary, I believe this to be a longstanding hardware-software bug in Linux due to a hardware degraded 7260 NIC. Replacing the 7260 card fixed it for me.
