Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Card
- 802.11abgn+ac, 2x2, Dual Band Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0, Mini PCIe (half)
"WP2 P9", "PB # G83449-001", and addl. PCB text (date code 4712, Nov. 2012)
- is silkscreened on the back of the module in the FCC photos.
- FCC ID PD97260H is presumably the standard 7260HMW model.
- FCC ID PD97260HU is presumably for the 7260HMW model (7260HMWU?)
- for vendors using BIOS lockdown of wireless module.
- Per a CIIPC made 08/19/2013, Dell appears to be using the modules in certain Wyse thin clients.
The PCI ID used in this entry is for one card of unknown provenance.
- It is, however, marked as follows...
- Model: 7260HMW
- TA: G94295-003
- SPS: 710661-001 0C
- CMIT ID: 2013AJ0758
Wi-Fi Certified : WFA19658 (as of 06/11/2013)
- The card is certified under the following additional IDs...
- WFA17147, 11/26/2012, a/b/g/n, 2x2
- WFA19388, 04/15/2013, a/b/g/n, 2x2, w/ WPS and Wi-Fi Direct noted
There is an 00:15:00 OUI on the label pictured on the device in the FCC label shots.

Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 [8086:c070]
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
Kernel modules: iwlwifi- and is fully supported by the Linux kernel (tested under Arch Linux 1.4 with Linux kernel of version 4.1.0).
- However, the driver needs a special iwlwifi firmware which is normally part of the Linux distribution (see firmware-iwlwifi).
The WiFi driver (iwlwifi) is loaded automatically:
