Will Linux Mint 17.1 support the Intel 7260HMW AC?
Currently in LM 17 I have to do this on both my devices with these wireless cards to get wireless to work (with the 3.13 kernel sources) : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? ... st13112184
Will it work natively in LM 17.1 ?
Thanks.

The rev cb card in that post is supported with kernel 3.13.0-40 and might be in -39kevinlekiller wrote:Currently in LM 17 I have to do this on both my devices with these wireless cards to get wireless to work (with the 3.13 kernel sources) : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? ... st13112184

Hi JeremyB, thanks for the reply.
On the blog, every post I read about 3.13.0-40 and 3.13.0-39 people had issues, LM 17.1 ships with 3.13.0-37 from what I can see, guess I'll have to keep modifying the driver

Hi JeremyB, I won't be able to test your commands until Wednesday, thank for the help/support, I'll let you know then.

Hello JeremyB, had time to test out today on 17.1 with the 3.13.0-40 kernel, didn't have to do anything, worked straight away.
Even 3.13.0-37 worked right away, however I seem to be getting slightly better speeds on 3.13.0-40
Thanks for the help!
