The firmwares are available at [1].
I will send a pull request to linux-firmware.git soon.
The new firmware's version number is 22.212.9.0:
$ dmesg | grep loaded\ firmware
loaded firmware version 22.212.9.0 op_mode iwlmvm

Hi,
I've just noticed that the firmware, as downloaded from both your git tree
and from the wireless.kernel.org URL, reports that it is v23.214.9.0 --
$ dmesg | grep loaded\ firmware
[ 16.628491] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: loaded firmware version 23.214.9.0 op_mode iwlmvm
md5sum of installed firmware when the driver was loaded and reported that:

Looks like a user reported the same thing in a RedHat bugzilla post:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1087717 -- see comment #8.
I'm running 3.15.0-rc5 (Ubuntu's 'mainline' build), but I doubt that has
anything to do with how the firmware reports its version. ;)
Is the version number just wrong, or is this actually not the firmware you
intended to release?
Thanks!
