            Bug ID: 219683
           Summary: Since r318216 iwm firmware loading aborts with
                    "unknown firmware section 512"
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: i386
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: wireless
          Assignee: freebsd-wireless@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: iz-rpi03@hs-karlsruhe.de

After changing the wireless card in a laptop running 32 bit FreeBSD 12.0 in=
to
a Intel 7260 I get a firmware loading error.

The kernel messages are
# kldload if_iwm
iwm0: <Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 7260> mem 0xf69fe000-0xf69fffff irq 1=
7 at
device 0.0 on pci1
iwm0: iwm_read_firmware: unknown firmware section 512, abort
iwm0: firmware parse error 22, section type 512
iwm0: iwm_read_firmware: failed 22
iwm0: Failed to start INIT ucode: 22
#

Using the older, 16th, version of the firmware causes the same error messag=
e.
So I think it is not firmware version related.

Going back to r318215 fixes the firmware loading, while with r318216 the er=
ror
shows up.
The r318216 log message is related to iwm's firmware handling:

[iwm] Sync iwm_read_firmware()'s loop to iwlwifi's code.
