Intel 3160 Dual Band Wireless AC - anyone got it working?

Tried to get Intel 3160 Dual Band Wireless AC card running under all combinations of kernels and OS-es, and couldn't find a single setup which works.

Specifically on Arch, the problem is:

What is happening with Intel?! It was supposedly making the best linux compatible hardware. Now, it's one major cluster#uck

Re: Intel 3160 Dual Band Wireless AC - anyone got it working?

Hey,

I've got the very same issue as you. The problem has already been reported here for the Intel 7260: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91171 and here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=189103 .
Unfortunately, it seems there is nothing to do for this WLAN card. I guess the best option is to get another one.

Sorry!
