# Wi-Fi overview
Qualcomm^®^ Linux^®^ provides Wi-Fi functionality, features, and configurable parameters for developing applications.
Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) is a wireless networking technology that uses the IEEE 802.11 protocol. It lets electronic devices like smartphones, wearables, laptops, desktops, and other consumer electronics to connect to the Internet without physical cables.
In Qualcomm Linux, Wi-Fi functionality is enabled through the ath11k driver. The system-on-chip (SoC), Wi-Fi chipset, and driver support for the development kits are as follows.
