For me that even worse. Now I can provide users with kernel binaries with
enabled experimental fw support. Telling them to install firmware is
enough, to get test results.
With module option:
sgruszka: download exp firmware and load module with use_experimental_fw=1
user: ok, but how to do this
sgruszka: echo "options iwlagn use_experiental_fw=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
sgruszka: and restart the system
user: hmm, I have error
user: bash: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf: Permission denied
sgruszka: login as root
user: ok I did, but new firmware did not help me
sgruszka: show me dmesg please
user: dmesg
sgruszka: old firmware is used
sgruszka: gash, I made a typo, it should be
sgruszka: echo "options iwlagn use_experimental_fw=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
sgruszka: grrrrrrr
