Description-en: iwlwifi driver backport in DKMS format
Intel works with periodic releases of the iwlwifi driver that are
tested with a specific combination of components such as firmware and
hostap. These releases can be seen as snapshots of the development
trees (including upstream) that can be used on older kernels.
