Francois Thirioux, would you need a backport to a release prior to
Vivid, or may this be closed as Status Invalid?

Title:
  8086:08b2 [Lenovo ThinkPad T440s] Power management causes Intel wifi
  7260 slowness

Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  With power management on, download speed reaches an upper limit 400
  kB/s instead of the normal 1500 kB/s I get with some other PC
  connected to my network. The speed often slows down very very low,
  especially when I'm far away from my AP. Removing N mode does not
  solve the issue.

  03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 [8086:08b2] (rev 83)
   Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 [8086:c270]

  This is a regression in Trusty update going from linux-firmware 1.127 to 1.127.10. As per https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/linux-firmware_1.127.tar.gz this is how 1.127 only included:
  /linux-firmware/iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode
  /linux-firmware/iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode

  However, as per https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/linux-firmware_1.127.10.tar.gz it includes:
  /linux-firmware/iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode
  /linux-firmware/iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode

  WORKAROUND: Remove wireless interface's power management via Powertop
  or
  WORKAROUND: Revert to previous iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode (remove the -9 version from /lib/firmware)
  WORKAROUND: Use latest Intel upstream firmware iwlwifi-7260-ucode-23.10.10.0 with 3.17+ kernels
  WORKAROUND : use the default (25.222.9.0) firmware and disable uAPSD (see message #64)
