OK, I will do this, but it will take me a few days to get to it.

Could I ask, what are the pros and cons of using this working kernel in
the meantime, before there is a "proper" (?) fix for this problem? I
presume I should not install any of the updates I am automatically
prompted about for now, because by installing this kernel I have moved
off the sequence of machine states that is expected by whatever is
sending me those updates? But other than that, if I try to just leave
things as they are for a few weeks perhaps and use this working kernel,
is there any risk of something else going wrong?

Thanks for all the help.

Title:
  Intel 7260 problems on Thinkpad T440s

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Very intermittent and inconsistent wireless connections. Occasionally
  the indicator will show that the connection has been lost, but more
  often it seems that the indicator just shows low signal strength -- as
  it generally does even when the connection is working well.

  I'm pretty sure this is not an access-point problem because we have
  other devices using the same network without any problem.

  Here's some of the additional information that has been requested in
  other discussions of similar problems, although I don't fully
  understand what all these results mean.

  I have these three firmware files in /lib/firmware:
