Bug#738615: wrong firmware for intel iwlwifi 7260

["Martin" <martin@luminoussheep.net>]

Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Version: 0.40

Hi

I downloaded the unstable firmware as I saw it had the firmware I needed
for my new laptop and copied the file into the right place. Not a normal
install... I'm running testing. The firmware is too old even for testing.

Sadly the firmware doesn't work well at all, regular disconnects and lots
of errors in the kernel log.
Others have seen exactly this problem:

I grabbed the new images from:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi
And they work perfectly so far, no errors, no disconnects, much better
throughput.

Thanks,
M
