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.

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