[ANN] New firmware for Intel 7260 / 3160

[ANN] New firmware for Intel 7260 / 3160

[Emmanuel Grumbach]

Hi,

We have released a new firmware for 3160 and for 7260 Intel devices.
This firmware is not the firmware that has been long announced. It is
based on the existing code base and has a few bug fixes. This firmware
is supported starting 3.10. A new firmware based on a newer code base
will follow - that new firmware will be supported starting 3.13.

I strongly recommend to move to the new firmware - it solves a few
issues that were raised by users.

The firmware for 7260 is available at [1] and for 3160 at [2].
I will send a pull request to linux-firmware.git soon.
The new firmware's version number is 22.1.7.0:

$ dmesg | grep loaded firmware
loaded firmware version 22.1.7.0 op_mode iwlmvm

[1] - http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=iwlwifi-7260-ucode-22.1.7.0.tgz
[2] - http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=iwlwifi-3160-ucode-22.1.7.0.tgz

You need to update the version number in WHENCE.

Ben.

It is easier to write an incorrect program than to understand a correct one.

Hi Ben,

This is another pull request for another firmware. I am sorry not to
have put this together in the same pull request, but I just didn't know
when that new firmware would come out.
It doesn't replace the older one:
* iwlwifi-{7260,3160}-7.ucode is supported starting from 3.10
* iwlwifi-{7260,3160}-8.ucode is supported starting from 3.13

This is why I don't remove the -7.ucode.
At some point (maybe around 3.15) we will stop supporting -7.ucode.
Thanks!

Even then, the -7 files should remain in linux-firmware.git as there is
not any minimum kernel version.
