💅 enum iwl_fw_type(9) — like, the iwlwifi firmware type situation

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about one tiny enum that tells you which flavor of iwlwifi firmware you're dealing with. no cap, it's short but it matters. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum iwl_fw_type — the iwlwifi firmware type, literally that's it, that's the whole vibe

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

peep the kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/img.h — icon behavior, honestly — plus these enum/struct besties who are all in the same friend group:

• enum iwl_ucode_type(9)
• struct iwl_fw_paging(9)
• struct iwl_fw_dbg(9)
• struct iwl_fw(9)

and that's the whole page, bestie 💖 this little drop came from ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026 — iconic of her, honestly. go read the other structs, ily, bye 🧚⭐
