Originally IWLWIFI versions depend on Kernel versions.see[3] Since we use a separate mac80211 we should not care about kernel version - since we use "development"/newest drivers iwlwifi seems to expect newer firmware too. - rev. 17 does not seem to be published yet. - rev. 16 (iwlwifi-7260-16.ucode) is available in linux-firmware[1] - rev 14,15 are not in mainline linux-firmware but in other repos[2] Older Firmware is supposed to work with newer drivers according to iwlwifi documentation[3] - Kernel 3.10+ means that this should work with later versions too iwlwifi is a little bit untested on OpenWrt because AP/5GHz issue on cards. So maybe its a bug with firmware or code itself and you could report it to the wireless/iwlwifi kernel guys.
