No!

I've been trying to be clear in my previous responses to your messages,
but let me reiterate: I do _not_ want a centralized bug report. It's
better for users to file an individual bug report so we can capture the
logs and hardware information from that machine, unless they have the
exact same machine and symptoms as the existing bug. We can always dup
bugs later if we find out that they really do represent the same
problem.

In this case the problems are clearly unrelated, since this one is about
a firmware crash and the one you point out has nothing to do with
firmware crashes. When we start piling unrelated problems onto a single
bug report it can quickly become unmanagable. So _please_ do not point
people at a single, "central" bug report for 7260 wireless issues.
Thanks!

Title:
  Intel 7260 firmware causes crashes, needs updating

Status in System76:
  New
Status in “linux-firmware” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The firmware we currently ship for the intel 7260 wireless card is
  buggy, and causing frequent crashes.

  See http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg114861.html

  There is updated firmware available, see http://marc.info/?l=linux-
  wireless&m=138718659005765&w=2

  We should get this updated, as this is becoming a very popular
  wireless card (System76 are shipping it in their systems) and it's a
  pain having to reboot every time it crashes...
