This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.

In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware
image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:

<http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi>.

The firmware is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can
look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to
determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script
runs.

If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst>. The
module will be called iwlwifi.
