</span>Originally IWLWIFI versions depend on Kernel versions.see[3]<br>
<br>
Since we use a separate mac80211 we should not care about kernel<br>
version - since we use "development"/newest drivers<br>
<br>
iwlwifi seems to expect newer firmware too.<br>
- rev. 17 does not seem to be published yet.<br>
- rev. 16 (iwlwifi-7260-16.ucode) is available in linux-firmware[1]<br>
- rev 14,15 are not in mainline linux-firmware but in other repos[2]<br>
<br>
Older Firmware is supposed to work with newer drivers according<br>
to iwlwifi documentation[3] - Kernel 3.10+ means that this should<br>
work with later versions too<br>
<br>
iwlwifi is a little bit untested on OpenWrt because AP/5GHz issue<br>
on cards. So maybe its a bug with firmware or code itself and<br>
you could report it to the wireless/iwlwifi kernel guys.<br>
See wireless kernel wiki page[4]<br>
