Intel's IWD Wireless Daemon Preparing WiFi DPP Support (Wi-Fi Easy Connect) - Phoronix
Intel's open-source IWD modern wireless daemon that works with the likes of NetworkManager, systemd-networkd, and their own ConnMan has been preparing support for WiFi Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP).
The WiFi standard's Device Provisioning Protocol is a modern replacement to WPS (WiFi Protected Setup). DPP is more secure than WPS for pairing WiFi devices and also is designed to work better for current IoT device pairing.

Linux 5.17 Will Have An Important Intel P-State Update For Alder Lake Mobile CPUs - Phoronix
Linux 5.17 will have a seemingly important fix for upcoming Intel Alder Lake mobile processors. Without this change/fix, you might not see the advertised one-core turbo frequencies being met for your processor depending upon the system and whether tuning your EPP.
A change to the Intel P-State CPU frequency scaling driver is now queued up as part of the power management code destined for Linux 5.17. "There is an expectation from users that they can get frequency specified by cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq when conditions permit. But with AlderLake mobile it may not be possible," begins the patch with this Alder Lake mobile fix.

A growth year for upstream kernel contributions
With over 350 patches authored and nearly 200 reviewed and tested in multiple subsystems, 2021 was a great year for Linux kernel development at Collabora.

Since January the team has grown with 10 new amazing joiners already contributing and making a difference. Here is a look at some of our achievements during the year.
