I have a ticket open with Intel about random disconnects. I have a few hundred Lenovos with the 7260ac adapter. Randomly we’re seeing clients sending a dauth for what appears to be no reason.
When asked if they publish release notes on their drivers they responded NO, not public facing.. Which I knew from past experince. However, the SE I spoke with provided me the release notes for the lastest driver, 17.0.5.8.
I wanted to share with the group. I also shared my frustration with navigating around Intel site for their cards, drivers and documentation. They provided a great link which is bookmark worthy. It lists all their wifi nics, documents and drivers. Also does a comparison.
