Intel dual band wireless-AC 7260 card is not detected as PCIe device in linux paltform

[vaishali]

System Environment:
Mini PCIe slot - Intel dual band wireless-AC 7260
ubuntu 12.4
Linux 3.8 kernel version

Bringup:
1. Inserted the Intel dual band wireless-AC 7260 in the Mini PCIe slot in the board.
2. Checked for the Intel dual band wireless-AC 7260 PCIe devices through "lspci" command - not detected

I have the following queries
Ø Why the wireless-AC 7260 will not list in the PCIe tree ?
Ø I need the sequence of detecting/enumeration for this card and how to verify my card is present or not?
Ø Is ucode is require for the PCIe enumeration?

1) Have you searched for a solution?

2) Have you installed the driver?

3) E.g. Look here: http://jugnu-life.blogspot.com/2014/02/making-intel-dual-band-wireless-ac-7260.html

The 3.8 kernel does not support the 7260. The minimum kernel is 3.11. Though the latest kernels provide more support....Also the latest firmware blob (UCODE) is included in linux-firmware: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/

NOTE* It seems that 3.14 will finally provide AC support.
