Description of problem: The Intel® Wireless-AC 9260 (on Gigabyte x470 Gaming 7 board) causes the firmware/kernel to fail. I have the latest bios installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 28 (kernel 4.16.5-300.fc28.x86_64) How reproducible: Install Fedora 28 standard and dnf update. The Intel 9260 Wifi interface does not show up even though iwlwifi is loaded with modprobe. Actual results: dmsg: kernel BUG at >>drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/rx.c:425! in [ 5.949573] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 5.956596] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-9260-th-b0-jf-b0-36.ucode failed with error -2 [ 5.956607] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-9260-th-b0-jf-b0-35.ucode failed with error -2 [ 5.970257] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: loaded firmware version 34.0.0 op_mode iwlmvm [ 6.056544] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 9260, REV=0x324 [ 6.062623] kernel BUG at drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/rx.c:425!

Additional info: There's a kernel bug filed here https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199551
The issue has been fixed, but hasn't made it upstream yet. See below comment from the kernel bugzilla ticket. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199551 > Emmanuel Grumbach 2018-05-10 07:53:00 UTC > Fix is now merged in our internal tree > https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git/ > It'll follow the regular process to upstream kernel.
The fix is in upstream kernel 4.17, so it's probably in Fedora kernel-4.17.2-200.fc28.
Thanks for letting us know.
