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):
You will need to download :
- ipts_firmware.zip
- linux_image-*
- linux_header-*
Instructions
- Copy the files under root to where they belong: * $ sudo cp -R root/* /
- 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/
- 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
- 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
- Install the custom kernel and headers:
- $ sudo dpkg -i linux-imagedev linux-headersdeb
- Reboot on installed kernel.
NOTE: If your network won't connect on the 4.14.x series, you need to apply the apparmor-fix-4.14.patch file in /etc/
