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

Say Y here to enable default bcast filtering configuration.

Enabling broadcast filtering will drop any incoming wireless
|
|
broadcast frames, except some very specific predefined
|
|
patterns (e.g. incoming arp requests).
|
|
|
|
If unsure, don't enable this option, as some programs might

expect incoming broadcasts for their normal operations.

Say Y here to enable runtime power management for PCIe

devices. If enabled, the device will go into low power mode
|
|
when idle for a short period of time, allowing for improved
|
|
power saving during runtime. Note that this feature requires

a tight integration with the platform. It is not recommended
|

to enable this feature without proper validation with the

specific target platform.

bool "Enable full debugging output in the iwlwifi driver"
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers
|
|
|
|
This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can
|
|
control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
|
|
value in
|
|
|
|
/sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug
|
|
|
|
This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
|
|
|
|
To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file:
|
|
|
|
% echo 0x43fff > /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug
|
|
|
|
You can find the list of debug mask values in:
|
|
drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h
|
|
|
|
If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here
|
|
as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve
|
|
any problems you may encounter.

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