Thanks Christopher - that was a good idea.

After applying the latest BIOS:

fifieldt@nomad115:~$  sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
[sudo] password for fifieldt: 
N10ET38W (1.17 )
08/20/2015

the microcode error disappears.


However, connections to  802.11AC networks are still not possible, with the error:

"capabilities/regulatory prevented using AP HT/VHT configuration,
downgraded"

Bug description:
  When trying to connect to an 802.11AC network using an Intel 7265 with
  firmware iwlwifi-7265-ucode-25.228.9.0 on kernel 3.16.0-38-generic
  #52~14.04.1-Ubuntu, the error " Microcode SW error detected.
  Restarting 0x2000000." is received, the card crashes and can't connect

  networks, and also 802.11a.
