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

Hey, awesome! The rc2 kernel is running the 7260 and the edgers nVidia .deb seems to be living in my system quite happily. It's only been an hour or so but no issues including a reboot to test.

 

I mentioned before that I was seeing 300 Mb/s, the last time I got it working. This time around, it was 150 Mb/s. I set my router back to 20/40/80 and connection speed went back to 300 Mb/s. So taking the router out of AC mode doubles my speed. Keeping in mind that my PCI subsystem can easily handle my GTX 460M and the full 866 Mb/s the 7260 claims, I suspect my internal antenna is not up to the task of full speed AC with this card. Or any card for that matter. Since all of my hardware is capable of full speed AC and my antenna is the only unknown in the equation, I'm going to replace it. It's probably about time took my laptop apart to clean the heat radiators anyway. Anyone else that's stuck at less MB/s than they should be may want to consider replacing their antenna too.

 

On a side note: the error I mentioned in my last post that I couldn't find and the one I posted turned out to be one and the same. Doh! This leads me to believe that the rest of you having Bluetooth problems are having a driver issue and not a hardware issue.
