Hello everyone, I could use some help. I just got an Intel 7260 Wireless AC Dual band wifi card for my laptop. I have been trying to get it to work, with no success.
What I have tried:
First off, the appropriate .ucode files are in /lib/firmware (iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode)
I have tried using wireless-testing and 3.11.0-rc1 both of which are supposed to compatible with the new API level (6 --> 7).
For some reason, the iwlwifi module does not seem to be using the firmware:
modinfo iwlwifi
filename: /lib/modules/3.11.0-rc1/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko
license: GPL
author: Copyright(c) 2003-2013 Intel Corporation <[email protected]>
version: in-tree:

firmware: iwlwifi-100-5.ucode
firmware: iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode
firmware: iwlwifi-135-6.ucode
firmware: iwlwifi-105-6.ucode
firmware: iwlwifi-2030-6.ucode

firmware: iwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode
firmware: iwlwifi-6050-5.ucode
firmware: iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode
At first I got firmware issues:
lspci
0a:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 08b1 (rev 63)
0b:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller ( rev 07)
dmesg | grep intel

[ 24.883334] Bluetooth: hci0 failed to open default Intel fw file: intel/ibt-hw-37.7.bseq
dmesg | grep iwlwifi

[ 22.806873] iwlwifi 0000:0a:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-7260-6.ucode' failed.
[ 22.806876] iwlwifi 0000:0a:00.0: no suitable firmware found!
and the wifi button would blink. Now I am not getting these issues but there is NO wifi.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
