Description:
iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode contained by linux-firmware is not the latest stable version.

This is the one in the linux-firmware archlinux core package:
Mar 22 19:26:32 osai kernel: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: loaded firmware version 22.15.8.0 op_mode iwlmvm

Modify: 2014-02-22 00:13:26.000000000 +0200

This is the one found here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi
Mar 22 22:32:53 osai kernel: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: loaded firmware version 22.24.8.0 op_mode iwlmvm

Modify: 2014-02-24 08:42:22.000000000 +0200

Most probably the firmware was updated by the intel guys 2 days later after the linux-firmware content was fetched.

Additional info:
