Bug Description
2 new firmware versions are now available and need to update for 7260 / 3160
devices(Wilkins Peak) at http://
[1]
Wireless 7260 3.10+ kernel -> iwlwifi-
Wireless 3160 3.10+ kernel -> iwlwifi-
also available in linux-firmware.git
commit 824994715e0276e
iwlwifi: update firmware for 7260 / 3160 devices
[2]
Wireless 7260 3.13+ kernel -> iwlwifi-
Wireless 3160 3.13+ kernel -> iwlwifi-
Quote from Emmanuel: "OSVs can safely have both firmware files installed
regardless of the kernel version. Kernel 3.10 won’t load 22.15.8.0 but 22.1.7.0
only. Kernel 3.13 will try to load 22.15.8.0 and if it is not there, it will
try to load 22.1.7.0. So nothing bad will happen if OSVs have both firmware
installed. Just a bit of a waste - but nothing worse than that."
