The first patch that adds IWLMVM should fix https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/19459 Forum users try to use Intel cards - example: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=54488 Also more IWLMVM symbol then firmware issues >> Signed-off-by: Dirk Neukirchen <dirkneukirc...@web.de> >> --- >> package/kernel/mac80211/Makefile | 198 >> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- >> 1 file changed, 133 insertions(+), 65 deletions(-) >> >> + >> + config IWL3160_FW >> + bool "Intel 3160 Firmware" >> + default y >> + help >> + Download and install firmware for: >> + Intel Wireless WiFi 3160 >> + >> + config IWL3160_13_FW >> + bool "Intel 3160 Firmware ucode 13 (4.1+)" >> + default y >> + depends on LINUX_4_1 >> + help >> + Download and install firmware for: >> + Intel Wireless WiFi 3160 > > Does this really depend on the kernel version and not on the iwl driver > version?

Sometimes other firmware repos contain these but those differ from main linux-firmware ( https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/linux-firmware/ has ucode-14 and sometimes include changelogs ) > Hauke > _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
