To me, in 2014, a _modern_ laptop is extremely unlikely to be using

PCCARD _might_ be needed for machines without PCMCIA, but I do not
have any idea how that would be better worded (and, for the moment,
zero experience of such things).
I think I wrote that a long time ago. A modern kernel does not even have
YENTA or PCMCIA in the config (set or unset). My laptop dies have
# CONFIG_PCCARD is not set
so the text for wireless tools does need to be rewritten.
My wireless from lspci is:
01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260

Mine is
05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n
Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
which uses brcmsmac and the brcm/bcm43xx* firmware
I don't think so. I was experimenting and have:
$ ls /lib/firmware/ -R
/lib/firmware/:
cpia2 intel iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode
/lib/firmware/cpia2:
stv0672_vp4.bin
/lib/firmware/intel:
ibt-hw-37.7.10-fw-1.80.2.3.d.bseq
------
ibt is bluetooth
iwlwifi message is loaded firmware version 23.214.9.0 op_mode iwlmvm
but I'm not sure if that is the -7 or -9 version. Probably -9.
I'm not sure the stv firmware is used in my system. It's a camera
driver. It may be used by v4l-utils for my built in camera.
