** Description changed:

  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-AC 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].
  
  Update_0: I found out that version 8 was removed because it was seen as
- a regression by some users of the Intel Wireless-N 7260 (see Bug
+ a regression by some users of the Intel Wireless-N/-AC 7260 (see Bug
  #1293569).
  
  Update_1: Bug #1325200 describes the same problem, but here I gathered
  and summarized all the needed information I think.
