| 10 | This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers |
| 11 | |
| 12 | This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can |
| 13 | control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the |
| 14 | value in |
| 15 | |
| 16 | /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/debug_level |
| 17 | |
| 18 | This entry will only exist if this option is enabled. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file: |
| 21 | |
| 22 | % echo 0x43fff > /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/debug_level |
| 23 | |
| 24 | You can find the list of debug mask values in: |
| 25 | drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h |
| 26 | |
| 27 | If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here |
| 28 | as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve |
| 29 | any problems you may encounter. |

| 43 | help |
| 44 | Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO |
| 45 | accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifi will |
| 46 | register with the ftrace framework for event tracing and dump |
| 47 | all this information to the ringbuffer, you may need to |
| 48 | increase the ringbuffer size. See the ftrace documentation |
| 49 | for more information. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some |
| 52 | (though rather small) overhead. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems |
| 55 | occur. |
