25 | This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem. | |
26 | ||
27 | In order to use this driver, you will need a microcode (uCode) | |
28 | image for it. You can obtain the microcode from: | |
29 | ||
30 | <http://intellinuxwireless.org/>. | |
31 | ||
32 | The microcode is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can | |
33 | look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to | |
34 | determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script | |
35 | runs. | |
36 | ||
37 | If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be | |
38 | inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), | |
39 | say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. The | |
3c607d27 | 40 | module will be called iwlwifi. |

77 | depends on IWLMVM | |
78 | help | |
79 | Say Y here to enable default bcast filtering configuration. | |
80 | ||
81 | Enabling broadcast filtering will drop any incoming wireless | |
82 | broadcast frames, except some very specific predefined | |
83 | patterns (e.g. incoming arp requests). | |
84 | ||
85 | If unsure, don't enable this option, as some programs might | |
86 | expect incoming broadcasts for their normal operations. | |

94 | ---help--- |
95 | This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers | |
96 | ||
97 | This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can | |
98 | control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the | |
99 | value in | |
100 | ||
add6ff1a | 101 | /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug |
4fc22b21 TW |
102 | |
103 | This entry will only exist if this option is enabled. | |
104 | ||
105 | To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file: | |
106 | ||
add6ff1a | 107 | % echo 0x43fff > /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug |
4fc22b21 TW |
108 | |
109 | You can find the list of debug mask values in: | |
110 | drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h | |
111 | ||
112 | If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here | |
113 | as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve | |
114 | any problems you may encounter. | |

133 | depends on EVENT_TRACING |
134 | help | |
135 | Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO | |
136 | accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifi will | |
137 | register with the ftrace framework for event tracing and dump | |
138 | all this information to the ringbuffer, you may need to | |
139 | increase the ringbuffer size. See the ftrace documentation | |
140 | for more information. | |
141 | ||
142 | When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some | |
143 | (though rather small) overhead. | |
144 | ||
145 | If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems | |
146 | occur. | |
