Download Pre-built Kernel, Headers and IPTS_firmware

Downloads for ubuntu based distros (other distros will need to compile from source in the kernel folder):

https://goo.gl/QSZCwq

You will need to download :

  • ipts_firmware.zip
  • linux_image-*
  • linux_header-*

Instructions

  1. Copy the files under root to where they belong:  * $ sudo cp -R root/* /
  2. Extract ipts_firmware.zip to /lib/firmware/intel/ipts/
  • $ sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/intel/ipts
  • $ unzip ipts_firmware.zip
  • $ sudo mv ipts_firmware/* /lib/firmware/intel/ipts/
  1. Fix issue with Suspend to Disk:
  • $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/hibernate.target /etc/systemd/system/suspend.target && sudo ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-hibernate.service /etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service
  1. Set permissions on mwifiex_pcie.sh script:
  • $ sudo chown root /lib/systemd/system-sleep/mwifiex_pcie.sh
  • $ sudo chmow 755 /lib/systemd/system-sleep/mwifiex_pcie.sh
  1. Install the custom kernel and headers:
