I have no idea where the problem is, but a general rule is that new
hardware doesn't mix well with ancient kernels.

Note that the Intel 8260 was launched in Q2'15 according to
https://ark.intel.com/products/86068/Intel-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC-8260
That's a year after Ubuntu 14.04...  Might explain some of the problem?
