26 | This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem. | |
27 | ||
ae7486a2 | 28 | In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware |
be663ab6 WYG |
29 | image for it. You can obtain the microcode from: |
30 | ||
ae7486a2 | 31 | <http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi>. |
be663ab6 | 32 | |
ae7486a2 | 33 | The firmware is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can |
be663ab6 WYG |
34 | look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to |
35 | determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script | |
36 | runs. | |
37 | ||
38 | If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be | |
39 | inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), | |
40 | say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. The | |
3c607d27 | 41 | module will be called iwlwifi. |

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

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

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