--- Comment #7 from Takashi Iwai ---
Up to 4.0.x, there was some support for the deprecated firmware API, but
primarily the driver already expected the new firmware. You can find the
following messages even in 4.0.x kernel log:
[ 10.992352] iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Direct firmware load for
iwlwifi-3160-12.ucode failed with error -2
[ 10.992365] iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Direct firmware load for
iwlwifi-3160-11.ucode failed with error -2
[ 10.992374] iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Direct firmware load for
iwlwifi-3160-10.ucode failed with error -2
[ 10.992376] iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: request for firmware file
'iwlwifi-3160-10.ucode' failed.
After that, it falls back:
[ 11.395725] iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Firmware has old API version, expected v10
through v12, got v9.
[ 11.395728] iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: New firmware can be obtained from
http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/.
This fallback was dropped in 4.1.x.
The update kernel-firmware should be found in OBS Kernel:HEAD and Kernel:stable
repos.
