Hi,

I also had iwlwifi.conf in /etc/modprobe.d/ folder. I guess, the wifi
connection was dropping randomly and I followed a stackoverflow answer
where it suggested to add `enable_ini=N`to prevent the firmware to crash.

Thank you for the information. I removed that file and now the wifi works
on my machine.
