Verify step:

1. Remove Intel 8260 module
2. Clean install Vivid/Trusty, and install Intel 8260 module back
3. Install 4.1 kernel which contains 8260 Wifi/BT driver
4. Check if the device works -> no, can't find firmware as expected
5. Add -proposed repo and update, then install new linux-firmware
6. Reboot and verify if the device works -> yes, both wifi and BT can find the firmware and work

For Trusty:
Install linux-firmware-1.127.15

For Vivid:
Install linux-firmware-1.143.3

Both work.
