Hi,

For information, 
I'm experiencing the same "Microcode SW error detected" problem with Intel 7260 wifi chipset. I've installed the firmware given by JamesE in comment #35 and I confirm the connectivity is much more stable. No more disconnect in 1 hour.

Title:
  8086:08b1 [Toshiba Satellite P55-A5312] Intel 7260 Wifi regularly
  crashes

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  My wifi connection is rather unstable in Saucy and Trusty using the
  default firmware and kernel. Once the abort occurs, wifi becomes very
  unstable, crashing every 5 mins.

  I've also tested kernel version 3.11.8, using Firmware
  iwlwifi-7260-7-ucode (ie. version 7) for the 7260 controller.

  So far, the following commit has helped in dealing with this issue:
  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-trusty.git;a=commitdiff;h=6960a059b2c618f32fe549f13287b3d2278c09e9

  Looking at dmesg, the failure appears to originate as:
  [ 398.780636] ieee80211 phy0: Hardware restart was requested
  [ 398.781020] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: L1 Disabled; Enabling L0S
  [ 398.781158] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: L1 Disabled; Enabling L0S
  [ 398.789161] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000.

  Then, after some register values (I can post these if you want), I get:
  [ 398.789618] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Firmware error during reconfiguration! Abort.
  [ 398.789622] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: FW error in SYNC CMD MAC_CONTEXT_CMD

  Finally, I get the same warning in util.c:
  [ 398.789949] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1474 at /home/apw/COD/linux/net/mac80211/util.c:1509 ieee80211_reconfig+0x15d9/0x1860 [mac80211]()

  Edit:  I have since upgraded to kernel 3.13, and although the crash still occurs, iwlwifi tries to restart itself.  I can see the wifi icon disconnect and then reconnect automatically a few seconds later.  This trace is from syslog:
