Wireless-AC 7260 as hotspot

I have a Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter card, it works very well.

I intend to buy Wireless-AC 7260 card for desktop and use it to share internet connection that goes in to my PC through desktop adapter, eliminating the need for a router.

Will I be able to do this? How stable and supported this use case is? I tried this with USB dongles in the past and got a lot of BSODs as result.

OS is Win8.1 Pro x64.

Intel® My WiFi Dashboard can only share from wireless connection (not ethernet) but you may try using Windows* Internet Connection Sharing.
