Thanks for the info. Could we have the info for the package updated to
indicate that?

From the description/summary it seems that packaged is pretty
focused
and doesn't indicate it would work for anything else.
If it would have read (and supports 8260) then I would have installed
and use that from the beginning.
Seems like a good suggestion. Care to send a patch?
FWIW, packaging the iwl firmware as split out subpackages has proven
to be a royal pain.
