Subject: Firmware works only if kernel source drivers are built as modules.
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 09:56:40 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <55F6E028.9010809@gmail.com> (raw)
I'm attempting to load iwlwifi-3160 firmware. It works only if I build
the following drivers as modules.
Intel Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN - Wireless-N/Advanced-N/Ultimate
Intel Wireless WiFi MVM Firmware Support
If I compile them into the kernel the firmware is not found. This is my
first experience with firmware. Does firmware require drivers built as
modules? I see nothing at
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi stating
modules must be used.
