Hi Emmanuel,
I took the iwm part of code from your branch,
and compiled with PC-BSD 11.0-CURRENTJUNE2016 source tree
to match the kernel version.
It works very well with the 3165 wireless interface on my Dell Vostro 14 5459.
kernel log:
iwm0: <Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3165> mem 0xd5100000-0xd5101fff at
device 0.0 on pci2
iwm0: hw rev 0x210, fw ver 16.242414.0, address 08:d4:0c:xx:xx:xx
pciconf -lv:
iwm0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x44108086 chip=0x31658086
rev=0x79 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Wireless 3165'
class = network
Tested with usual web browsing, YouTube streaming,
and several hundred MB download for pkg upgrade.
Thanks for your work and DragonFlyBSD's effort on this!
Regards,
Yongjhen.
