  14         ---help---
  15           A driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network
  16           Connection 802.11b wireless network adapter.
  17
  18           See <file:Documentation/networking/README.ipw2100> for information on
  19           the capabilities currently enabled in this driver and for tips
  20           for debugging issues and problems.
  21
  22           In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it.
  23           You can obtain the firmware from
  24           <http://ipw2100.sf.net/>.  Once you have the firmware image, you
  25           will need to place it in /lib/firmware.
  26
  27           You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
  28           configure your card:

  30           <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
  31
  32           It is recommended that you compile this driver as a module (M)
  33           rather than built-in (Y). This driver requires firmware at device
  34           initialization time, and when built-in this typically happens
  35           before the filesystem is accessible (hence firmware will be
  36           unavailable and initialization will fail). If you do choose to build
  37           this driver into your kernel image, you can avoid this problem by
  38           including the firmware and a firmware loader in an initramfs.

  40 config IPW2100_MONITOR
  41         bool "Enable promiscuous mode"
  42         depends on IPW2100
  43         ---help---
  44           Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2100 driver.
  45           With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
  46           promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode.  While in this
  47           mode, no packets can be sent.
  48
  49 config IPW2100_DEBUG
  50         bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2100 module."
  51         depends on IPW2100
  52         ---help---
  53           This option will enable debug tracing output for the IPW2100.
  54
  55           This will result in the kernel module being ~60k larger.  You can
  56           control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
  57           value in
  58
  59           /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/debug_level
  60
  61           This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
  62
  63           If you are not trying to debug or develop the IPW2100 driver, you
  64           most likely want to say N here.

  87           for information on where to install the firmware images.

 103         bool "Enable promiscuous mode"
 104         depends on IPW2200
 105         ---help---
 106           Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2200 driver.
 107           With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
 108           promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode.  While in this

 116         bool "Enable creation of a RF radiotap promiscuous interface"
 117         depends on IPW2200_MONITOR
 118         select IPW2200_RADIOTAP
 119         ---help---
 120           Enables the creation of a second interface prefixed 'rtap'.
 121           This second interface will provide every received in radiotap
 122           format.
 123
 124           This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while
 125           maintaining an active association.
 126
 127           Example usage:
 128
 129             % modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
 130             % ifconfig rtap0 up
 131             % tethereal -i rtap0
 132
 133           If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' as a module parameter then
 134           the rtap interface will not be created and you will need to turn
 135           it on via sysfs:
 136
 137             % echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface
 138
 139 config IPW2200_QOS

 142
 143 config IPW2200_DEBUG
 144         bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2200 module."
 145         depends on IPW2200
 146         ---help---
 147           This option will enable low level debug tracing output for IPW2200.
 148
 149           Note, normal debug code is already compiled in. This low level
 150           debug option enables debug on hot paths (e.g Tx, Rx, ISR) and
 151           will result in the kernel module being ~70 larger.  Most users
 152           will typically not need this high verbosity debug information.
 153
 154           If you are not sure, say N here.

 171         select LIB80211_CRYPT_CCMP
 172         ---help---
 173         This option enables the hardware independent IEEE 802.11
 174         networking stack.  This component is deprecated in favor of the
 175         mac80211 component.
 176
 177 config LIBIPW_DEBUG
 178         bool "Full debugging output for the LIBIPW component"
 179         depends on LIBIPW
 180         ---help---
 181           This option will enable debug tracing output for the
 182           libipw component.
 183
 184           This will result in the kernel module being ~70k larger.  You
 185           can control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by
 186           setting the value in
 187
 188           /proc/net/ieee80211/debug_level
 189
 190           For example:
 191
 192           % echo 0x00000FFO > /proc/net/ieee80211/debug_level
 193
 194           For a list of values you can assign to debug_level, you
 195           can look at the bit mask values in ieee80211.h
 196
 197           If you are not trying to debug or develop the libipw
 198           component, you most likely want to say N here.
