Hello, I have a new laptop which I'm well sick of having to run linux on. Is there a way to encourage someone to write a driver for intel 7260 wifi card? I am a C programmer, and I would be willing to volunteer time, but I don't know how useful I will be with neither driver writing nor wifi protocol nor FreeBSD development process experience. Still, if anyone would point me in the right direction I would happily give it a shot. Where can this stuff be learnt? I also see that linux drivers exist, but I'm not sure about legal problems when copying from those. Or, while I probably couldn't afford to fund it entirely myself, is there a way I could chip into a pot to help fund someone with more experience to at least make a start on it? Sincerely, Daniel Collins
