  14           This option enables support for use with the following hardware:
  15                 Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6250AGN Adapter
  16                 Intel 6000 Series Wi-Fi Adapters (6200AGN and 6300AGN)

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

  51           This is the driver that supports the DVM firmware which is
  52           used by most existing devices (with the exception of 7260
  53           and 3160).

  75           Say Y here to enable default bcast filtering configuration.
  76
  77           Enabling broadcast filtering will drop any incoming wireless
  78           broadcast frames, except some very specific predefined
  79           patterns (e.g. incoming arp requests).
  80
  81           If unsure, don't enable this option, as some programs might
  82           expect incoming broadcasts for their normal operations.

  89         depends on IWLWIFI
  90         ---help---
  91           This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers
  92
  93           This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger.  You can
  94           control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
  95           value in
  96
  97                 /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug
  98
  99           This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
 100
 101           To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file:
 102
 103                   % echo 0x43fff > /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug
 104
 105           You can find the list of debug mask values in:
 106                   drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h
 107
 108           If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here
 109           as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve
 110           any problems you may encounter.

 117           is a low-impact option that allows getting insight into the

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