wireless-AC 9260 truncated packets on ubuntu

[PVand2]

Hi, I am using a laptop with wireless-AC 9260 on ubuntu

WiFi manages to connect to my access pointin WPA2 (see EAPOL message success below), but it apparently fails to get an IP address. I have tried with many access points and android hotspot.

Looking at tcpdump traces, it seems that the wifi interface receives a bunch of truncated IP messages in response to the bootp request.

How do I check if I have the right driver version, and right firmware?

All the relevant information is below I think.

Best Regards,

Pierre
