Wireless Intel 8260 driver for FreeBSD

[Subbsd]

Hello Adrian,

I've use FreeBSD 12 from
https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics.git (
drm-next-4.7 branch on latest commits ) because only with this code
works (with regular panic ;-) my graphics card. May be i miss
something here? :
