Title:
Add iwlwifi firmware monitor support in utopic
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
SRU Justification:
Impact: These patches do not fix a bug. Instead, they help Intel
collect data from devices which are experiencing errors due to bugs in
the firmware which will help them fix these bugs.
Test Case: I have tested these patches to verify that I did not
observe any regressions with the affected hardware and to verify the
functionality of the firmware monitor support.
Regression Potential: The firmware monitor support defaults to being
disabled and is only enabled when the fw_monitor=1 option is passed to
iwlwifi, which helps to limit the possibility of regressions under
normal use. I have also reviewed and tested the patches without
finding any regressions.
---
These were introduced in 3.17 and then backported to 3.16 by Intel
[1]. They aren't upstream stable material, but since Intel wireless is
probably the most widely used wireless hardware among Ubuntu users it
makes sense for us to take the patches if they will help Intel fix
bugs in their firmware.
