Hello,
i try to run my Intel 7620HMW on my Tegra K1.
Its running the current version 3.10.40-gdacac96.
I also installed the current FW packet for the Intel Wifi Card.
So /lib/firmware# find . | grep ‘7260’ results:

./iwlwifi-7260-13.ucode
./iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode
./iwlwifi-7260-12.ucode
./iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode
./iwlwifi-7260-14.ucode
./iwlwifi-7260-15.ucode
./iwlwifi-7260-10.ucode
./iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode
./LICENSE.iwlwifi-7260-ucode
./README.iwlwifi-7260-ucode

Here is my iwconfig wlan0, note that there is no ac available

I tried to use backports to compile a newer version of iwlwifi for using an higher version of iwlwifi-7260-x.ucode.

However i stuck on the make defconfig-iwlwifi command:

make[2]: `conf' is up to date.
boolean symbol HWMON tested for 'm'? test forced to 'n'
boolean symbol HWMON tested for 'm'? test forced to 'n'
warning: (MAC80211 && MAC802154) selects BACKPORT_CRYPTO_CCM which has unmet direct dependencies (CRYPTO_AEAD && CRYPTO_CTR)
warning: (MAC80211 && MAC802154) selects BACKPORT_CRYPTO_CCM which has unmet direct dependencies (CRYPTO_AEAD && CRYPTO_CTR)
#
# configuration written to .config
#

I’m able to make and make install, but then after reboot, there is no way to connect to an encrypted network due a 4-way-handshake error.I used the same wpa_supplicant.conf before the backport install,
which had worked.

I used an ASUS RT-AC87U Router which is running an AC-standard Network, which is definitely running on my MacBook.

Here is the iwllist scan result. Here I miss the VHT entry, I guess thats placed anywhere in IE:Unknown:

So did anybody have some experience with the Intel cards including AC or backporting?
If you need more infos, just ask!
Thank you.

Does the 802.11ac work on other platform with this intel 7620HWM card?
The mini PCIE wireless card itself is good. And the wireless card can work with other standard on TK1, such as 802.11n ?
Is it a antenna issue ? The wireless card should have 2 antenna, one is 2.4GHz for 802.11a,b,g,n , another is 5GHz for 802.11ac

There seem to be multiple versions of this card, so I am not sure if we are both talking about the same one. But anyway, I’m using a 7260 with ac, and it works fine on [mainline] kernel 4.2. I know there has been a lot of work on the driver and firmware in recent months, especially on the bluetooth side. This is the main reason I’m running a mainline kernel and cutting myself off from all the GPU goodies. It would sure be nice if the L4T crew would do at least one release with a newer kernel.

My only real complaint with the card is Intel disabled soft-AP capability on 5 GHz. I think they did it to simplify their regulatory compliance so they can sell the same thing world-wide. Either that or they were afraid of cannibalizing higher-end products.

Here is the mapping list which firmware version support which kernel version .

So 7260 firmware with ac should not support kernel 3.10
