I have an Intel wireless 7260 AC adapter, I've had issus with wifi at work on this machine for a while. Very unstable connection, drops out very often. Tried updating everything. Currently on Ubuntu 14.10 with the 3.17 rc7 kernel. Also updated the firmware for the wifi adapter from the intel page.
Today i noticed something though, when I run
dmesg grep | iwl
I get

In the second line of the dmesg it tries to load the firmware 7260-10.ucode and it doesn't exist in /lib/firmware/, only 7260-7.ucode, 7260-8.ucode and 7260-9.ucode is there.
Is there a way to set what firmware is loaded, latest recommended from Intel is 7260-8.ucode, or am I missing the 7260-10.ucode firmware?
