 30	  This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.
 31
 32	  In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware
 33	  image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:
 34
 35	          <https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi>.
 36
 37	  The firmware is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can
 38	  look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to
 39	  determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script
 40	  runs.
 41
 42	  If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
 43	  inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
 44	  say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst>.  The
 45	  module will be called iwlwifi.

 89	  This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers

103	  You can find the list of debug mask values in:

147
148	  CSME stands for Converged Security and Management Engine. It is a CPU
149	  on the chipset and runs a dedicated firmware. AMT (Active Management
150	  Technology) is one of the applications that run on that CPU. AMT
151	  allows to control the platform remotely.
152
153	  This kernel module allows to communicate with the Intel Management
154	  Engine over Wifi. This is supported starting from Tiger Lake
155	  platforms and has been tested on 9260 devices only.
156	  If AMT is configured not to use the wireless device, this module is
157	  harmless (and useless).
158	  Enabling this option on a platform that has a different device and
159	  has Wireless enabled on AMT can prevent WiFi from working correctly.
