By default the configuration is enabled with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. If the user wants to compile the driver for a
particular protocol, he can disable the unwanted protocols in Menuconfig utility.In case of coex mode, the
Wi-Fi must always be enabled in conjunction with BT protocols, even if Wi-Fi will not be used.
For example, if the user wants to compile the driver only for Bluetooth only, the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth mode
must be enabled. Refer to the following images of Menuconfig utility for more information:
Figure 4: Selection of WIFI Only Mode
3. After selecting the configuration, exit the menuconfig and save the configuration. Please refer the given below
image of saving the configuration.
If NL80211 support is enabled in the driver, make sure that the following modules are loaded in the kernel
before running the driver in order to avoid module dependencies. This can be verified by using the
commands.
# lsmod | grep cfg80211
# lsmod | grep bluetooth
If they are not installed, can be installed by using the commands below :
# modprobe cfg80211
# modprobe bluetooth
