02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 [8086:08b1] (rev 6b)
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 [8086:c070]
    Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
    Kernel modules: iwlwifi
and is fully supported by the Linux kernel (tested under Arch Linux 1.4 with Linux kernel of version 4.1.0).
However, the driver needs a special iwlwifi firmware which is normally part of the Linux distribution (see firmware-iwlwifi).

The WiFi driver (iwlwifi) is loaded automatically:
