Public bug reported:
Intel 8260 WiFi cards currently aren't usable on 14.04.3 (with lts-vivid
HWE, 3.19 kernel).
The problem is that in the kernel, iwl-8000.c defines an
IWL8000_UCODE_API_MAX of 12:
#define IWL8000_UCODE_API_MAX 12
But /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8000C-13.ucode is the only 8000 series
firmware currently shipped in linux-firmware.
So either iwlwifi-8000C-12.ucode needs to be added to linux-firmware, or
IWL8000_UCODE_API_MAX needs to be bumped to 13 in the kernel (possibly
with other changes in the iwl-8000 driver needed to actually make it
work with firmware API 13).
Thanks!
