Hello,
Does anyone know about the possibility of using Wireless 8260 ?
I initially addressed this issue to freebsd at intel.com, but it seems no
one is home. It is difficult to assume that such a huge and rich
company like Intel@ can not keep at least one FreeBSD driver developer
and all the work is done by community (after spending the money to
purchase equipment ;-)

Hello,
I've buy http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/nuc-kit-nuc6i5syk.html
harware and wish to use this as development desktop platform on my
office with FreeBSD OS (at the moment i setup FreeBSD 12-CURRENT
snapshot).
With a big community/developers help via FreeBSD maillist I was able
successfull to make of the graphics subsystem ( DRM 4.7 from
dev-branch: https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/wiki
)
Looks like all other hardware compatible with FreeBSD 12 except
wirelless devices. I can find any information about Wireless 8260 and
FreeBSD.
On Intel.com site, i see official FreeBSD ethernet drivers ( em ), but
can't find any drivers for wireless. Some people indicated to iwn
driver:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwn&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+12-current&arch=default&format=html
But it not works for me.
My pciconf -vl output from FreeBSD NUC 6i5syk:
none5 at pci0:1:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x90108086 chip=0x24f38086
rev=0x3a hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Wireless 8260'
class = network
Where I can find the driver if it exists? Or is there some kind of
timeline when you plan to upgrade iwn for 8260 ?
Thx!
