You need to update the version number in WHENCE.

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

[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 includes the neww APIs we have been implementing for a while now.
We have here bug fixes along with better power save and P2P support.
Anyone who wants to use this firmware must have 3.13 at least.
The new file name is iwlwifi-{7260,3160}-8.ucode.
Just copy the file into /lib/firmware - if the driver / kernel
supports the new firmware, it will load the new one. If not,
iwlwifi-{7260,3160}-7.ucode will be loaded and everything should work
just fine.

The firmware for 7260 is available at [1] and for 3160 at [2].
I encourage people running 3.13 and up to take the new firmware and
report issues.
The new firmware's version is 22.15.8.0:

$ dmesg | grep loaded\ firmware
[ 8871.825758] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: loaded firmware version 22.15.8.0
op_mode iwlmvm

Shouldn't such stuff also go to the linux-firmware-folks?

It will - don't worry. I already have a pull request pending to
linux-firmware anyway.
I'll add that new firmware to my fork of linux-firmware [1] tonight.

Good.
For future announces like this one you can CC them?

I wasn't aware of such a mailing list. I usually send an announcement
on linux-wireless and then send a pull request to Ben Hutchings. If
you think I should change this process, I'd happy to know how to
improve it.

pull request: firmware for Intel Wireless adapter - 7260 / 3160

[Emmanuel Grumbach]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1382 bytes --]

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.
