I try to compile openwrt for the intel7260 wifi card, but every time the CPTCFG_IWLMVM flag in the compat-wireless .config file is not set so it never build the intel 7260 part in the iwlwifi module.
How can I make it use that flag ?
(I am completly lost in the openwrt building system, and the help/wiki is not very helpfull).

Hi,I'm going to try Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 work on my x86 system.
I got same issue in trunk.
Then I found that 7260 and 3160 devices need the CPTCFG_IWLMVM=y option.
And also I try to modify sources of compat wireless .config.but it didn't works.
Finally,I try modify kmod-iwlagn in:package/kernel/mac80211/Makefile to append iwlmvm part.
Now it works.
But it seems Intel ac 7260 wifi card only support create an AP on 2.4ghz channel,hostap not work on 5ghz channel as AP.
I found that 'No-IR' flag on 5ghz channel.
And I also modify kmod-iwlagn in compat-wireless/driver/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-eeprom-parse.c & iwl-nvm-parse.c to ignore these flags from eeprom&nvm.
The 'No-IR' flasg is gone, but hostap still not work on 5ghz channel.
Is anyone knows how can I set an AP on 5ghz channel ?
