This is a theoretical.

Summary     : Firmware for Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 7260 Series Adapters
Description :
This package contains the firmware required by the iwlagn driver
for Linux.  Usage of the firmware is subject to the terms and conditions
contained inside the provided LICENSE file. Please read it carefully.
/usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode
/usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode
/usr/share/doc/iwl7260-firmware
/usr/share/doc/iwl7260-firmware/LICENCE.iwlwifi_firmware
/usr/share/doc/iwl7260-firmware/WHENCE

The question is how this will work in practice[1], in your case.

Josh, if this is the last occurrence of the "iwlagn", i.e. EL6.2,
/usr/lib/modules/2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlagn.ko
and currently in use is the "iwlwifi", i.e. Rawhide & Fefeora 20,
/usr/lib/modules/3.14.0-0.rc1.git3.1.fc21.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.12.9-301.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko
maybe it should write:
"Description :
This package contains the firmware required by the *iwlwifi* driver
for Linux. …"
