28 | This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem. | |
29 | ||
ae7486a2 | 30 | In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware |
be663ab6 WYG |
31 | image for it. You can obtain the microcode from: |
32 | ||
ae7486a2 | 33 | <http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi>. |
be663ab6 | 34 | |
ae7486a2 | 35 | The firmware is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can |
be663ab6 WYG |
36 | look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to |
37 | determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script | |
38 | runs. | |
39 | ||
40 | If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be | |
41 | inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), | |
42 | say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. The | |
3c607d27 | 43 | module will be called iwlwifi. |

81 | help | |
82 | Say Y here to enable default bcast filtering configuration. | |

84 | Enabling broadcast filtering will drop any incoming wireless | |
85 | broadcast frames, except some very specific predefined | |
86 | patterns (e.g. incoming arp requests). | |
87 | ||
88 | If unsure, don't enable this option, as some programs might | |

4fc22b21 TW |
105 | ---help--- |
106 | This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers | |
107 | ||
108 | This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can | |
109 | control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the | |
110 | value in | |
111 | ||
add6ff1a | 112 | /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug |
4fc22b21 TW |
113 | |
114 | This entry will only exist if this option is enabled. | |
115 | ||
116 | To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file: | |
117 | ||
add6ff1a | 118 | % echo 0x43fff > /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug |
4fc22b21 TW |
119 | |
120 | You can find the list of debug mask values in: | |
121 | drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h | |
122 | ||
123 | If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here | |
124 | as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve | |
125 | any problems you may encounter. | |

be1a71a1 JB |
145 | help |
146 | Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO | |
147 | accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifi will | |
148 | register with the ftrace framework for event tracing and dump | |
149 | all this information to the ringbuffer, you may need to | |
150 | increase the ringbuffer size. See the ftrace documentation | |
151 | for more information. | |
152 | ||
153 | When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some | |
154 | (though rather small) overhead. | |
155 | ||
156 | If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems | |
157 | occur. | |
