Re: iwlwifi: failed to load firmware chunk

[Friso Smit <fw.smit01@gmail.com>]

Okay, this is weird. Right now it's still messed up in Windows, but not 
anymore in Linux (even though it started while running linux). Dmesg 
currently doesn't show any errors for iwlwifi. Does anyone have an idea 
what part of the wifi chip could be broken here (driver, firmware, etc.)?
