This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem. 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=IWLWIFI 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.
