Well, yes, that is confusing. I cannot imagine that it was their intention. FWIW, the current driver still supports firmwares back to "13" for the 7260: /* Highest firmware API version supported */ #define IWL7260_UCODE_API_MAX 17 #define IWL7265_UCODE_API_MAX 17 #define IWL7265D_UCODE_API_MAX 21 #define IWL3168_UCODE_API_MAX 21 /* Oldest version we won't warn about */ #define IWL7260_UCODE_API_OK 13 #define IWL7265_UCODE_API_OK 13 #define IWL7265D_UCODE_API_OK 13 #define IWL3168_UCODE_API_OK 20 /* Lowest firmware API version supported */ #define IWL7260_UCODE_API_MIN 13 #define IWL7265_UCODE_API_MIN 13 #define IWL7265D_UCODE_API_MIN 13 #define IWL3168_UCODE_API_MIN 20 That is the authoritative source wrt "support".
