Jeff,

I am certainly no expert on iwlwifi, but this change looks suspicious:

@@ -10,8 +10,7 @@
  #include "fw/api/txq.h"

  /* Highest firmware API version supported */
-#define IWL_22000_UCODE_API_MAX        81
-#define IWL_22500_UCODE_API_MAX        77
+#define IWL_22000_UCODE_API_MAX        77

  /* Lowest firmware API version supported */

The parameter that was originally set to 81 is now set to 77.

Please try the attached patch.

Larry
