28 This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.
29
30 In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware
31 image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:
32
33 <http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi>.
34
35 The firmware is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can
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
43 module will be called iwlwifi.

79 bool "Enable broadcast filtering"
80 depends on IWLMVM
81 help
82 Say Y here to enable default bcast filtering configuration.
83
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
89 expect incoming broadcasts for their normal operations.

91 config IWLWIFI_UAPSD
92 bool "enable U-APSD by default"
93 depends on IWLMVM
94 help
95 Say Y here to enable U-APSD by default. This may cause
96 interoperability problems with some APs, manifesting in lower than
97 expected throughput due to those APs not enabling aggregation
98
99 If unsure, say N.

104 default false
105 help
106 Say Y here to enable runtime power management for PCIe
107 devices. If enabled, the device will go into low power mode
108 when idle for a short period of time, allowing for improved
109 power saving during runtime.
110
111 If unsure, say N.

114
115 config IWLWIFI_DEBUG
116 bool "Enable full debugging output in the iwlwifi driver"
117 ---help---
118 This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers
119
120 This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can
121 control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
122 value in
123
124 /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug
125
126 This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
127
128 To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file:
129
130 % echo 0x43fff > /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug
131
132 You can find the list of debug mask values in:
133 drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h
134
135 If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here
136 as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve
137 any problems you may encounter.
138
139 config IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS
140 bool "iwlwifi debugfs support"
141 depends on MAC80211_DEBUGFS
142 ---help---
143 Enable creation of debugfs files for the iwlwifi drivers. This
144 is a low-impact option that allows getting insight into the
145 driver's state at runtime.
146
147 config IWLWIFI_DEBUG_EXPERIMENTAL_UCODE
148 bool "Experimental uCode support"
149 depends on IWLWIFI_DEBUG
150 ---help---
151 Enable use of experimental ucode for testing and debugging.
152
153 config IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING
154 bool "iwlwifi device access tracing"
155 depends on EVENT_TRACING
156 default y
157 help
158 Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO
159 accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifi will
160 register with the ftrace framework for event tracing and dump
161 all this information to the ringbuffer, you may need to
162 increase the ringbuffer size. See the ftrace documentation
163 for more information.
164
165 When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some
166 (though rather small) overhead.
167
168 If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems
169 occur.
