Aw: Re: [9front] driver for intel wireless 7260?

[Eckard Brauer <eckard.brauer@gmx.de>]

Just a few weeks ago, I had some mailing with Kemal for that topic, as
he tried to help me on that. My little understanding reached it's end
early, and unfortunately we had no luck getting the card to work
finally, but Kemal already did some patches I tried out.

Maybe it's of some help to have that patches, so notify me, I should
have them all here.
