Intel WiFi support on latest bbx15 debian/ubuntu microsd prebuilt?

I have a custom bbx15 board with an intel 3160 mini pci. It doesn’t appear the latest prebuilt debian/ubuntu has the iwlwifi modules but it does have the firmware for the card.

I built the latest 4.4.x ti bsp kernel last night 4.4.68-ti-r106 but the config didn’t have a selection (Looked under Device Drivers > Network Device Support > Wireless LAN … no Intel)

I also built the mainline 4.4.70-armv7-lpae-x7 and the config did allow me to select the iwlwifi and it built the iwlwifi, mvm and dvm ko.

Any ideas on the best way to proceed?
