In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it. You can obtain the microcode from: <https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi>. The firmware is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script runs. If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst>. The module will be called iwlwifi. if IWLWIFI config IWLWIFI_LEDS bool depends on LEDS_CLASS=y || LEDS_CLASS=MAC80211 depends on IWLMVM || IWLDVM select LEDS_TRIGGERS select MAC80211_LEDS default y config IWLDVM tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi DVM Firmware support" depends on MAC80211 help This is the driver that supports the DVM firmware.

You can control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the value in /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug This entry will only exist if this option is enabled. To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file: % echo 0x43fff > /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug You can find the list of debug mask values in: drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve any problems you may encounter. config IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS bool "iwlwifi debugfs support" depends on MAC80211_DEBUGFS help Enable creation of debugfs files for the iwlwifi drivers. This is a low-impact option that allows getting insight into the driver's state at runtime. config IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING bool "iwlwifi device access tracing" depends on EVENT_TRACING default y help Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifi will register with the ftrace framework for event tracing and dump all this information to the ringbuffer, you may need to increase the ringbuffer size. See the ftrace documentation for more information. When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some (though rather small) overhead. If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems occur. endmenu endif config IWLMEI tristate "Intel Management Engine communication over WLAN" depends on INTEL_MEI depends on PM depends on CFG80211 depends on BROKEN help Enables the iwlmei kernel module. CSME stands for Converged Security and Management Engine. It is a CPU on the chipset and runs a dedicated firmware. AMT (Active Management Technology) is one of the applications that run on that CPU. AMT allows to control the platform remotely. This kernel module allows to communicate with the Intel Management Engine over Wifi. This is supported starting from Tiger Lake platforms and has been tested on 9260 devices only. If AMT is configured not to use the wireless device, this module is harmless (and useless). Enabling this option on a platform that has a different device and has Wireless enabled on AMT can prevent WiFi from working correctly. For more information see <https://software.intel.com/en-us/manageability/> If unsure, say N.
