Iwlwifi
iwlwifi 는 인텔의 현재 무선 네트워크 칩을 구동하는 무선 네트워크 장치 드라이버입니다.
커널
동작하게 하려면 일부 커널 설정이 필요합니다. (장치에 따라) 드라이버에서 802.11a/b/g/n/ac를 지원하므로, IEEE 802.11를 활성화해야 합니다.
IEEE 802.11
Activate at least cfg80211 (CONFIG_CFG80211) and mac80211 (CONFIG_MAC80211). For details see IEEE 802.11 section of Wi-Fi artice.

After rebuilding the kernel and rebooting with this kernel, the selected options can be verified as follows:
user $zgrep 'IWLWIFI\|IWLDVM\|IWLMVM' /proc/config.gz펌웨어
이 표en에 나온 대로 개별 장치의 펌웨어가 필요합니다. sys-kernel/linux-firmware 꾸러미와 장치별 sys-firmware/iwlxxxx-*ucode 꾸러미로 있습니다.
Upstream Intel instructions recommend[1] adding all iwlwifi ucode to the kernel image. This is recommended for convenience, however it will bloat the kernel slightly.

Optional: savedconfig
The savedconfig USE flag could be set for Linux firmware in order to avoid unneeded stuff in /lib/firmware/.
As for example the Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6205 needs iwlwifi-6000g2a-ucode while anything else may be commented out or deleted.
/etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/linux-firmwareTake care that version number is removediwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode
iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode
In order to not lose these settings on next firmware update the version number needs to be removed:
user $cd /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernelroot #mv linux-firmware{-20200316,} 네트워크 장치 이름
This section is obsolete. See Udev#Optional: Disable_or_override_predictable_network_interface_naming for updated instructions.
Network device names such as eth0 or wlan0 as provided by the kernel are normally changed on system boot (see dmesg) by the /lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules udev rule.
To keep the classic naming this rule can be overwritten with an equally named empty file in the /etc/udev/rules.d directory:
root #touch /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules
Testing
After a reboot with the new kernel or after loading the modules, the device can be checked for availability by using following methods:
- Using the /sys file system
- Using the ip command
- Using the ifconfig command
- Using the iw command
/sys file system
Get the device name by listing the /sys/class/net directory contents using ls -al or the tree command (provided by the app-text/tree package):
user $tree /sys/class/net/sys/class/net/ ├── enp2s14 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:0e.0/net/enp2s14 ├── lo -> ../../devices/virtual/net/lo ├── sit0 -> ../../devices/virtual/net/sit0 └── wlp8s0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:08:00.0/net/wlp8s0
ip command
To obtain the device name and verify that the wireless card is detected, execute the following ip command:
user $ip addr3: wlan0: ...
ifconfig command
The ifconfig command is provided through the sys-apps/net-tools package. Use ifconfig -a to list all detected network cards, even those that are not enabled/active yet:
user $ifconfig -awlan0 ...
A network card can be activated as follows:
root #ifconfig -v wlan0 upSIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill WARNING: at least one error occurred. (-1)
In this example, enabling the wireless card failed as a radio frequency kill state is set (usually to keep power consumption at bay and not connect by accident to a wireless network).
iw command
If the wireless network card driver supports the nl80211 stack, then the iw command as offered by the net-wireless/iw package can show the detected wireless cards:
root #iw devphy#0 Interface wlan0 ifindex 4 type managed
modprobe와 modinfo
modprobe 에서는 어떤 결과도 나오지 말아야 합니다:
root #modprobe iwlwifi드라이버 모듈에 대한 자세한 내용은 modinfo iwlwifi 명령에서 확인할 수 있습니다.
user $modinfo iwlwifilspci
lspci 명령에서 Kernel driver in use:와 Kernel modules: 두 부분에 iwlwifi가 나타나야합니다.
root #lspci -kxx:xx.x Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless xxxx
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
Kernel modules: iwlwifi
xx:xx.x 식별자는 dmesg에서 지정 정보를 찾아볼 때 쓸만합니다.
dmesg
dmesg 출력 내용을 확인하십시오. xx:xx.x를 lspci 정보에 해당하는 내용으로 바꾸십시오.
user $dmesg | grep -i 'xx:xx.x\|wlan\|iwl\|80211'문제 해결
Kernel not loaded
Check if the correct kernel is loaded. This can be accomplished as follows (depends on the IKCONFIG feature):
user $zgrep CONFIG_IWL /proc/config.gz펌웨어 문제
- udev 또는 systemd를 사용하는 시스템에는 커널에서 바이너리 블롭을 불러오도록 설정해야합니다. 이 경우, 무선 카드 펌웨어는 불러와야 할 펌웨어입니다. 이 방식으로 커널을 설정하는 자세한 방법은 젠투 포럼의 다음 스레드에서 찾아볼 수 있습니다: FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK.

No internet connection
If you can connect to an access point, but still can't connect to any server or get any connection to the internet it might be worth a try to disable 802.11n and/or enable software encryption. You can pass the 11n_disable=1 or 11n_disable=8 and/or swcrypto=1 option to the iwlwifi module. In order to pass the option automatically on module load create the file /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf as follows:
/etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.confDisabling 802.11n, enabling software cryptooptions iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 swcrypto=1
In newer kernels, inspected as of 5.3.7, setting 11n_disable=1 (or masked with 0x01) will result in 802.11ac being disabled. This will limit the device to a maximum of 54Mbit throughput.

This indicates that a severe error has been encountered by the WiFi adapter's micro-controller which led it to be reset. Consequences might be network drop outs and/and severe slow downs even after the connection to the AP has been restored. The root cause might be difficult to point out (platform own radio noise/buggy firmware/etc) however one of the very first things to try, even if the power management has been disabled for the iwlwifi module, is to prevent the WiFi adapter PCIe link to go in power save mode. This is accomplished by changing the power_scheme value used by the iwlmvm module to 1 (active):
/etc/modprobe.d/iwlmvm.confChanging power_scheme to 'active'options iwlmvm power_scheme=1
Amongst additional countermeasures suggested on https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi disabling 40 MHz channels usage on the 2.4GHz band might also help:
