Re: Drivers for Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Card?

Okay, I've compiled the wireless-testing kernel several times using different methods and I can't seem to get both Intel ac7260 and nVidia drivers. It's either or. I suspect this is yet one more peculiarity of the ASUS G73 series.

 

I could use nouveau but that's simply not an option for me. nouveau doesn't support frequency scaling and that means HEAT because my GTX 460M would run full throttle all the time. Besides, nouveau font rendering is absolutely horrifying to behold.

 

Since I'm sick of having a USB taken up by my wireless dongle, I've put my old Atheros wifi card back in. I suspect the Intel driver for this should be hitting the mainline kernel soon and therefore start filtering down to the OS's within the next two months or so.

 

In fact, I just checked kernel.org. Stable 3.10.1 was released on the 13th and mainline 3.11-rc1 was released yesterday. I'm going to grab both and see if the proper driver is there. If so, the Liquorix kernel and Ubuntu both should have things ready to go in a few weeks.
