 |
|
I have an old Lenovo laptop with an Intel wireless interface.
| Code: |
tp490s /usr/src/linux # lspci -ks 00:14.3
00:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Cannon Point-LP CNVi [Wireless-AC] (rev 30)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Cannon Point-LP CNVi [Wireless-AC]
|
But in the latest kernel (6.6.13) I can't find the CONFIG_IWLWIFI option?
| Code: |
tp490s /usr/src/linux # grep CONFIG_IWLWIFI .config
|
The menuconfig contain only an Intel devices entry:
| Code: |
--- Wireless LAN
[ ] ADMtek devices
[ ] Atheros/Qualcomm devices
[ ] Atmel devices
[ ] Broadcom devices
[ ] Cisco devices
[*] Intel devices
[ ] Intersil devices
[*] Marvell devices
[ ] MediaTek devices
[ ] Microchip devices
[ ] pureLiFi devices
[ ] Ralink devices
[ ] Realtek devices
[ ] Redpine Signals Inc devices
[ ] Silicon Laboratories devices
[ ] STMicroelectronics devices
[ ] Texas Instrument devices
[ ] ZyDAS devices
[ ] Quantenna wireless cards support
< > Aviator/Raytheon 2.4GHz wireless support
|
And as a result I'm not able to load the firmware either:
| Code: |
tp490s /usr/src/linux # grep CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE .config
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin iwlwifi-9000-pu-b0-jf-b0-46.ucode"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"
tp490s /usr/src/linux # ls -l /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-9000-pu-b0-jf-b0-46.ucode
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1518772 Feb 1 20:09 /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-9000-pu-b0-jf-b0-46.ucode
|

Do you have CONFIG_MODULES=y?

Yes I do have CONFIG_MODULES=y.
I suspect that my .config file must have got corrupted somehow... |

pgu,
Go into
Press the 'z' key to show hidden symbols.
Use the search to find IWLWIFI
Go to it and read the help. Its probably not selectable
In the help. look at Depends on:
That boolean expression must be true for the option to appear in the menu.
Fix that with the recursive application of the above.
In short, something that IWLWIFI depends on is off.

| Thank you, I was searching for IWLWIFI and I observed the expressions, but I was not able to select any of the parameters in the expression. I was not aware of the "z" toggle. Unfortunately I have already recreated the .config from scratch so I was not able to test it out. I'll keep it in the back of my head for next time I observe similar hidden options. |

pgu,
I don't use Wifi and i have
| Code: | Symbol: IWLWIFI [=n]
│ Type : tristate
│ Defined at drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/Kconfig:2
│ Prompt: Intel Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN - Wireless-N/Advanced-N/Ultimate-N (iwlwifi)
│ Depends on: NETDEVICES [=y] && WLAN [=y] && WLAN_VENDOR_INTEL [=y] && PCI [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && CFG80211 [=y] && (IWLMEI [=n] || !IWLMEI [=n]) |
If that expression is false, the option will be hidden.
You need to visit all the symbols in that list to make the expression true. When you go to them, they all have Depends on: which in turn must be satisfied, and so on.
