Wireless 7260 3.13+ kernel -> iwlwifi-7260-ucode-22.24.8.0.tgz
Wireless 3160 3.13+ kernel -> iwlwifi-3160-ucode-22.24.8.0.tgz

This new firmware is based on LinuxCore4 stream and is supported starting
kernel 3.13. It replaces the previously released FW(based on LinuxCore3).

Quote from the release note:

"This firmware is supported starting 3.13 kernel.
We have a here quite a few bug fixes with a few new features.
Most of the improvements concern P2P client and GO modes.

The firmware for 7260 is available at (1) and for 3160 at (2).
I will send a pull request to linux-firmware.git soon.

The new firmware's version number is 22.24.8.0:

$ dmesg | grep loaded\ firmware
loaded firmware version 22.24.8.0 op_mode iwlmvm
