Hi folks,

I?m trying to get the Intel 7260 working on Debian 7.4 (Kernel 3.2) running on a Giga-Byte GB-BXi5-4200.   The standard iwlwifi for wheezy doesn?t have support for the 7260 so I?ve installed the iwlwifi from debian-backports which lists that card as supported.  Unfortunately the card will not be recognized.

https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-backports/firmware-iwlwifi shows that the 7260 card is part of the 0.40 iwlwifi driver package.

And here is a listing of /dev/firmware showing that the ucode files are actually installed?
