True or false?

The linked manual page makes no mention of 7260.

<https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=d615b5020d#d14> and <https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=1ef99f31dd#d12> (respectively: FreeBSD 12.1-p4 and FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT) show iwm …

… Must be a typo.

I thought so. Thanks for confirming.

FreeBSD bug 257361 – Recent hardware notes misdirect users of Intel Wireless 7260 to use iwn(4)
