Hmm .. well .. the first errors suggest there is something missing, but
I'm confused by the final 'iwlwifi' message (this is the Intel WiFi
driver) .. so I wonder if it has done something odd, and fallen-back
so-to-speak. I can't seem to find any firmware files named as the errors
state, and I use the iwlwifi-7260 chipset on my desktop PC here. So I
defer to another list member to see if this is actually a problem, or
just a red herring ...
