Comment (by dogcow):

 This may be helpful to anyone having problems with the 7260 or other cards
 that use the `iwm` driver from FreeBSD.

 I learned that my access point was configured to only accept connections
 from clients using 802.11n or newer. The `iwm` driver does not support the
 newer protocols, and only works in 802.11b or 802.11g modes.
 Unfortunately, this is not currently documented in FreeBSD, so I have
 submitted a patch to update their man page accordingly.

 Once I enabled the legacy modes on my AP, the 7260 began working as
 expected.
