Sorry, Marc.  Somehow your emails really slipped through the cracks and
I hadn't seen them before.

I kernel v4.9, we stopped supporting firmware versions smaller than 22
for the 8260.  But unfortunately I made a mistake in the patch[1] when I
removed support for those firmwares and I used 17, which is the lowest
version for 7260 devices.

I have just sent out a patch[2] with a fix for that.

You can probably solve your problem by getting the latest firmware we
have released, which is version 27.  You can get it from the linux-
firmware.git repository[3].  Please try that and let us know how it
goes.
