Bug#769633: Please add the iwlwifi 7260 v10 to use vanilla Kernel.



Dear Maintainer,
my vanilla kernel ask for the *new* firmware of my wifi card:
Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 83)

Here is the error that I can see in the dmesg / journal:
déc. 31 14:13:11 t440s-gs kernel: iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-7260-10.ucode failed with error -2
déc. 31 14:13:11 t440s-gs kernel: iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-7260-10.ucode' failed.
déc. 31 14:13:11 t440s-gs kernel: iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Firmware has old API version, expected v10, got v9.
déc. 31 14:13:11 t440s-gs kernel: iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: New firmware can be obtained from http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/.

I checkout the svn of firmware-nonfree and would be happy to submit a patch,
but I think need some sponsor to do it.

For the moment I made my own version of iwlwifi and it works against vanilla kernel:
9bb29b6 Merge tag 'fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc [Linus Torvalds]

Guillaume Seren.
