Hello,
i downloaded iwlwifi-7260_14.ucode to /lib/firmware, but then i have no idea on how to load this firmware into the kernel, it is said on the README file to look into the documentation, but i can't figure out where to find it, i know the manpages, but, if someone could make me get it faster than looking up to the manpages and linux documentation maybe ?

Hello @Alfredovitch
Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.
For Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260, you can download the proper firmware from the following link*:
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi
Regarding how to install the firmware after the right version is downloaded, please follow these instructions:
- Copy the files into the distribution-specific firmware directory, /lib/firmware.
- If the directory doesn't work, refer to your distribution documentation.
- If you configure the kernel yourself, make sure firmware loading is enabled.
We support the use of the drivers only in the kernel version the driver was a part of. For more information, please refer to Linux* Support for Intel® Wireless Adapters: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/network-and-i-o/wireless.html
