[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1497481] Re: lts-vivid kernel has IWL8000_UCODE_API_MAX=12, but only iwlwifi-8000C-13.ucode shipped
To my knowledge Intel never publicly released a -12 ucode file for this hardware. The first version to appear in upstream linux-firmware was -13. ** Changed in: linux-firmware (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1497481 Title: lts-vivid kernel has IWL8000_UCODE_API_MAX=12, but only iwlwifi- 8000C-13.ucode shipped Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Intel 8260 WiFi cards currently aren't usable on 14.04.3 (with lts- vivid HWE, 3.19 kernel).

Seth, Gotcha, thanks! So is the expectation then that 8260 WiFi cards wont be usable on Trusty till 14.04.4 (lts-vivid HWE)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1497481 Title: lts-vivid kernel has IWL8000_UCODE_API_MAX=12, but only iwlwifi- 8000C-13.ucode shipped Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Intel 8260 WiFi cards currently aren't usable on 14.04.3 (with lts- vivid HWE, 3.19 kernel).

Yes, 14.04.4, but that's the lts-wily HWE kernel (which I'm sure is what you meant). Intel didn't bump the ucode API version in iwlwifi to 13 upstream until 4.1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1497481 Title: lts-vivid kernel has IWL8000_UCODE_API_MAX=12, but only iwlwifi- 8000C-13.ucode shipped Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Intel 8260 WiFi cards currently aren't usable on 14.04.3 (with lts- vivid HWE, 3.19 kernel).
