Public bug reported: On ubuntu 14.04 the linux-firmware package versions 1.127.3 (trusty- proposed) and 1.127.2 (trusty-security) don't contain
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode which is firmware version 22.15.8.0 [1] / 22.24.8.0 [2] for Intel Wireless 7260 needed for the current 3.13 kernel for the device to work properly (see Bug #1271257, which was previously fixed by adding this firmware ...) Even though the latest firmware version 23.214.9.0 was included in the latest package version (1.127.3) and this one should in theory run on 3.13 it is not yet used by the driver since the appropriate patch [3] has not yet made it into the stable kernel according to [2].
