I thought it would be as simple as copying the newest version of iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode to /lib/firmware, but it's telling me that it's read only, despite the fact that I'm logged in as root (and the file is already +rw).
The system partition is actually a single file on the hard drive and is not writable. If there's a new firmware of the card, I think it would be best to contact the developers of the wlan-firmware package. Check here: https://github.com/OpenELEC/wlan-firmware (you can also make a pull request I think, but if you've never used git that might be a bit of a hike. Alternatively you could create a feature request in OE github…
I can see that iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode has actually been added there a month ago. Is there already a newer version of the same file? Which version of OE are you using?
This discussion actually goes off topic, so let's continue it on OpenELEC forums better? http://openelec.tv/forum/88-wlan
