I have just installed the Liquorix (http://liquorix.net/) kernel to have BFQ Scheduler support (which IMHO should be included in Ubuntu).
Since it is kernel 3.9.9 version, somethings differ, but almost everything seems to work better and fine.
However, I found a problem during installation regarding iwlwifi:
Package configuration
┌──────────┤ Configuring linux-image-3.9-9.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64 ├───────────┐

│ Required firmware files may be missing │

│ This system is currently running Linux 3.8.0-26-generic and you are │

│ │
│ iwlwifi: iwlwifi-3160-6.ucode, iwlwifi-7260-6.ucode │
│ │
│ Most firmware files are not included in the system because they do not │

│ sections of the package archive before you can install these firmware │
│ files.
I tried installing it using their firmware-iwlwifi source, but I got no luck:
sudo apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi

The following NEW packages will be installed

Need to get 0 B/3,578 kB of archives.
After this operation, 7,364 kB of additional disk space will be used.

Errors were encountered while processing:

Any idea of how to solve this firmware installation?
Thanks!!!
