As he wrote earlier ========================== We released an experimental firmware for 3160 / 7260 / 7265. It is available from my linux-firmware.git clone: 3160: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/egrumbach/linux-firmware.git/plain/iwlwifi-3160-9.ucode?h=Core6 7260: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/egrumbach/linux-firmware.git/plain/iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode?h=Core6 7265: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/egrumbach/linux-firmware.git/plain/iwlwifi-7265-9.ucode?h=Core6 We had an issue with the version number in this stream, so I can't release it officially, nor can I send a pull request to integrate it to linux-firmware.git. I am working with the firmware team to fix the version issue. I still would be glad to have more testing on this firmware, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. It has gone through our regular testing cycles, but "field" feedback is always valuable. Thanks in advance to anyone who will test it. New (temporary) version number: 25.223.9.0 ============================================ Larry
