Do you have the updated linux-firmware 1.79.10 installed? Confirm with `dpkg -L linux-firmware | grep iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode`?

The workaroud in this bug report is going to be completely version-specific, and will have to be repeated for every kernel upgrade until you switch over to the firmware included in the newer linux-firmware.

FWIW it just rebooted into the updated 3.11.0-18-generic and my Intel 7260 works fine. I never applied the workaround in this bug report.
