I'm also interested in writing a driver for Intel N7260 (personally own it on my laptop and can't wait for the moment when I could actually use it with my favorite OS). Have never written hardware drivers so I purchased a book "FreeBSD Device Drivers" by Joseph Kong, hoping this will help me to get started. If only someone who has more experience could start a public repository and lay out some initial code I'm pretty sure the contribution could start rolling as not a few people already in this mailing list showed their interest in collaboration. Any ideas?
