The iwlwifi project can be found in kernels 2.6.24 and up. You thus do not need a driver from this site if you are using one of these kernels. If you are using an older kernel, or if you are interested in the latest driver development code, then you are in the right place.

Using latest development code

You can find our latest development in our git repository . Note that this repository contains the entire kernel. If you do not want to replace your kernel then refer to the next sections.

Using kernels 2.6.24 and up

These kernels have the iwlwifi driver included and the released drivers (available from this site under download page) do not work with these kernels. If you want to run the latest (or very close to it) development code with your kernel then you should use the compat-wireless project that retrieves the latest driver development code from the upstream repository. We do push our changes to this repository very frequently.

Using kernels older than 2.6.24

These kernels do not have the iwlwifi driver included. When using these kernels you have some options based on your requirements.
  • If you want to use a released driver, proceed to the download page. You will need to download and install a driver (iwlwifi) as well as the mac80211 subsystem (mac80211) available from this page.
  • If you wish to use the latest (or very close to it) development code then you can make use of the compat-wireless project.
