linux-firmware 1.127.3 has -8 firmware for Intel 3160, but not Intel 7260

[Jason Gerard DeRose]

The current linux-firmware package in proposed (1.127.3) added the -8 firmware for the Intel 3160, but not for Intel 7260.

This seems like it was perhaps a mistake, as the -9 firmware has been added for both.

$ dpkg -L linux-firmware | egrep "7260|3160"
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3160-8.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3160-9.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3160-7.ucode

Jason - addition of the -8 firmware was reverted because it was causing some regressions. See http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293569. It will be restored as soon as linux 3.13.0-31.55 is published containing the patch 'iwlwifi: mvm: disable beacon filtering'.
