joe_intel: The launch of the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 is expected during this quarter of the year (Q2'13). The drivers for the compatible operating systems will be released soon; we are also expecting the release of this product and its drivers by the Original Equipment Manufacturers since this is basically an OEM product.
Can you give some meaning to the word soon? Days, weeks, months? Does "compatible operating systems" include Windows 7?
As far as who will be releasing the drivers, technically, isn't Intel the OEM for the 7260 card? If you mean the laptop/tablet makers, then why has Intel made a generic version available through normal electronics distribution channels?
