Intel 7260 is a total POS.

[WRush]

I'm sorry but this card is the worst POS I have ever used.

Both on Linux and Windows 7 (using the latest drivers) I get a spinning circle when it is trying to load web pages.

This card is awful.

I will not be buying Intel ever again. Your NUC was awful as well, just too loud. I bought a Gigabyte Brix and it was silent.

Sort yourselves out.
