Comment 53 for bug 1349572

Can you give me syslog from 3.16 so I can check whether the disconnections appear to have the same cause?

The next thing I'd like to know is whether 3.16 with the -8 firmware, to see whether it's the kernel or the firmware that improves your results. If you're able too, could you rename /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode to something else, reboot to 3.16, and see how well that works?

I found some people saying that a workaround for touchpad issues on your machine is to blacklist the i2c-hid module, so you could try that with 3.16 to see if it helps. You can do this by running 'echo "blacklist i2c_hid" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-i2c-hid.conf' before booting to 3.16, then you can delete /etc/modprove.d/blacklist-i2c-hid.conf when you're done testing. Might be worth a try.
