Public bug reported:

On ubuntu 14.04 the linux-firmware package versions 1.127.3 (trusty-
proposed) and 1.127.2 (trusty-security) don't contain

/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode

which is firmware version 22.15.8.0 [1] / 22.24.8.0 [2] for Intel
Wireless 7260 needed for the current 3.13 kernel for the device to work
properly (see Bug #1271257, which was previously fixed by adding this
firmware ...)

Even though the latest firmware version 23.214.9.0 was included in the
latest package version (1.127.3) and this one should in theory run on
3.13 it is not yet used by the driver since the appropriate patch [3]
has not yet made it into the stable kernel according to [2].
