How to Install Cisco Compatible eXtensions (CCX) from Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software 19.0 to 20.80

Newer Intel® Wireless Adapters like the 7265 and 8260 families support the same CCX features as the previous generations of adapters. However, from Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software 19.0~20.80, the CCX functionality isn't installed by default.

To use this functionality, enable it with the following steps:

1. Download the desired Intel PROSet/Wireless Software package for IT administrators.
2. Unzip the package and open Setup.xml under root directory.
3. Look for a property called CCX_SUPPORT. Set this property to TRUE to install the Cisco CCX functionality. (Default is set to FALSE.)
   <PackageProperties>
        <Package id="WiFi">
             <Properties>CCX_SUPPORT=FALSE</Properties>
        </Package>
   </PackageProperties>
4. Save the changes to Setup.xml.
5. Run Setup.exe.

In an upgrade scenario, this property setting is ignored:

• When upgrading to versions between 19.0~20.80, the CCX functionality is maintained if it was installed previously.
• When upgrading to version 20.90 or later, CCX functionality will be removed automatically if it was installed previously.
