Description of problem: Used urpmi to update mga4 system with working Intel 7260 wireless interface. After the upgrade, system looks for iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode.

ARGH!!! 3.14.43-tmb-laptop-1.mga4 <===!!! No mga5 kernel*laptop* rpms in mga5 repositories.
Compiled kernel and wifi is working now. # uname -a Linux prf 3.19.8-1.mga5tmbcustom #1 SMP Sat Jul 4 16:14:12 EDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Summary: mga5 update kills wireless (intel 7260) => mga5 update kills wireless (intel 7260) -- kernel*laptop* rpms missing

However, maybe there's a bug in the fact that it didn't migrate automatically towards kernel-tmb-desktop.
The whole laptop v. desktop has been a mess IMO for some time... There's no way to choose a laptop version of the kernel, and the desktop version (not sure about mga5) did not support laptop features like lid-{close,open}, etc. However, the point of this bug is that wifi does not work after upgrading or installing to mga5 because the release's kernel is looking for an old iwlwifi-7260* that's older than what is included in the firmware rpm. BTW, now on: $ uname -a Linux prf 4.1.1 #1 SMP Sat Jul 4 18:15:00 EDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux HTH

Nope, the point of this bug is that after an upgrade via urpmi, it made you stay with an old Mageia 4 kernel whereas it upgraded the firmware rpm. This is, from what I understand, due to the removal of kernel-tmb-laptop from Mageia 5.
Whiteboard: (none) => FOR_ERRATA
Agree with _root_ cause -- this bug also affects boot.iso methods of upgrading/installing (see bug 16209 where the same issue was the root cause).
Summary: mga5 update kills wireless (intel 7260) -- kernel*laptop* rpms missing => upgrading from mga4 kernel-tmb-laptop leaves system with mga4 kernel, and no wifiSource RPM: kernel-firmware-nonfree-20150510-1.mga5.nonfree.src.rpm => kernel-tmb
Mass-reassigning all bugs with "kernel" in the Source RPM field that are assigned to tmb, to the kernel packagers group, because tmb is currently MIA.
