I have a couple questions in regards to my wireless setup.
Why does IEEE 802.11abgn not show ac? Does this mean I am not able to use this ban? My router is an ac router and my wireless card is Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 7260.
iwconfig wlp2s0
wlp2s0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"xxxxxx"
Mode:Managed Frequency:5.805 GHz Access Point: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Bit Rate=117 Mb/s Tx-Power=22 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:on
Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-38 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:5 Missed beacon:0I have tried enabling the following
# enable antenna aggregation for slow uplink speed
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8
# enable encryption if you have a poor connection
options iwlwifi swcrypto=1in /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf.
My other question is it possible to turn off power saving? I have set up
ACTION="add", SUBSYSTEM="net", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", RUN+="/usr/bin/iw dev %k set power_save off"I have also tried wlp2s0 instead of %k but neither seem to work. This is located in /etc/udev/rules.d/80-iwlwifi.rules.
My final question is how can I set tx_power 15 on boot? I know how to set it per session but can I add something to iwlwifi.conf or 80-iwlwifi.rules to accomplish this?
Edit:
I have noticed when options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8 is enabled, I only connect to the 2GHz network but when I comment it out, I connect to the 5GHz network.
Edit 2:
I have tried the following iterations but none of them worked
ACTION="add", SUBSYSTEM="net", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", RUN+="/usr/bin/iwconfig wlp2s0 set power_save off"
ACTION="add", SUBSYSTEM="net", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", RUN+="/usr/bin/iwconfig wlp2s0 power_save off"
ACTION="add", SUBSYSTEM="net", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", RUN+="/usr/bin/iwconfig wlp2s0 power off"
ACTION="add", SUBSYSTEM="net", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", RUN+="/usr/bin/iwconfig wlp2s0 set power off"I could try with %k but I feel like that wouldn't work at all since it only really makes sense with wlp2s0. I will now try by putting dev wlp2s0.
Edit 3:
The dev wlp2s0 iteration is a bust as well for disabling power management.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm in the same boat, 7260 AC without AC capability.

Unfortunately, I haven't made any progress so I have nothing to report back. Have you tried anything promising?

iwconfig and the interface it uses (wext - wireless_extenstions) haven't seen work for years before AC even existed. They're deprecated and outdated. Use iw instead.
Also, I recall reading that not all 7260 devices are AC. I'd have to check that though.

I tried installing the .ucode manually from here http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/w … 034398.htm
No guarantee I did it correctly because I've never had to do that before, but I couldn't get that to work either.

Yeah there's a 7260 AC and 7260 N, but I definitely have the AC.
