Support for Intel Dual-Band Wireless-N7260 (Eric McCorkle)

Mon Jul 21 12:21:13 UTC 2014

If it is to any help I think some work is already done. But I don't know how to test it: https://github.com/seanbruno/freebsd-iwl

 I'm somewhat interested in working on this driver, but I don't know how 
 effective I'll be in the immediate term, as I've never written a 
 wireless driver for FreeBSD...

 I'm also interested in writing a driver for Intel N7260 (personally own it
 on my laptop and can't wait for the moment when I could actually use it
 with my favorite OS).

 Have never written hardware drivers so I purchased a book "FreeBSD Device
 Drivers" by Joseph Kong, hoping this will help me to get started.

 If only someone who has more experience could start a public repository and
 lay out some initial code I'm pretty sure the contribution could start
 rolling as not a few people already in this mailing list showed their
 interest in collaboration.
 Any ideas?
