Bug#939262: firmware-iwlwifi: Consider update to newest version (20190815)
See my report in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=934781#30
On my Dell Precision M6400 laptop, the newer iwlwifi 20190815 firmware
only partly fixes the problem. The Wi-Fi no longer hangs (great!), but
Microcode SW errors still occur in periods of high throughput.
