This might sound kinda weird and I'm not sure if it's the right place to post it but here it goes.

I have an MSI GS60 2QD and after using the workaround posted in #115 wifi started working perfectly. So awesome that and thanks :D.

Now the weird part... I have two Nexus 5 phones at home and whenever my laptop is running Linux and the newly enabled wifi is on both phones lose connectivity. I checked if there were any conflicting IP assigned but no and it only happens in Linux with these new drivers. This behavior doesn't appear when the computer has booted into Windows and is connected and it didn't appear when I was using a USB-WiFi dongle with my Linux install.

Basically it's like this:
Laptop running Windows using the official Killer drivers - Everything works great.
Laptop running Linux using the custom kernel/workaround with the drivers - WiFi on - Phones are unable to connect to the same WiFi AP. If I turn WiFi off on the laptop the phones immediately connect back.

Has anyone else noticed anything like this with their phones or other WiFi connected devices?.
