Those versions were never released by Intel to the upstream linux-
firmware repository. Generally Intel only pushes out the versions they
consider stable, so those versions might have been development versions
or otherwise unsuitable for general use, therefore we will not ship
these versions in Ubuntu.

Title:
  Please update iwlwifi firmwares to include versions 17-19

Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Linux firmware git has these new firware revisions that are supported
  by the drivers shipped in Ubuntu (and it actually tries to load them):

  May  2 20:57:35 t460s kernel: [    2.873419] Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux
  May  2 20:57:35 t460s kernel: [    2.873422] Copyright(c) 2003- 2015 Intel Corporation
  May  2 20:57:35 t460s kernel: [    2.873794] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
  May  2 20:57:35 t460s kernel: [    2.877881] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Unsupported splx structure
  May  2 20:57:35 t460s kernel: [    2.878491] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-8000C-19.ucode failed with error -2
  May  2 20:57:35 t460s kernel: [    2.878504] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-8000C-18.ucode failed with error -2
  May  2 20:57:35 t460s kernel: [    2.878515] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-8000C-17.ucode failed with error -2
  May  2 20:57:35 t460s kernel: [    2.884163] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: loaded firmware version 16.242414.0 op_mode iwlmvm

  Adding iwlwifi-8000C-19.ucode works as expected:

  [21431.655352] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: loaded firmware version
  19.313137.0 op_mode iwlmvm

  So, please include these new revisions in the Ubuntu package (for
  xenial too).
