15 This option enables support for use with the following hardware:
16 Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6250AGN Adapter
17 Intel 6000 Series Wi-Fi Adapters (6200AGN and 6300AGN)
18 Intel WiFi Link 1000BGN

22 Intel 6030 Series Wi-Fi Adapters
23 Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6150BGN 2 Adapter
24 Intel 100 Series Wi-Fi Adapters (100BGN and 130BGN)
25 Intel 2000 Series Wi-Fi Adapters

28 This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.
29
30 In order to use this driver, you will need a microcode (uCode)
31 image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:
32
33 <http://intellinuxwireless.org/>.
34
35 The microcode 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
Don Fry3c607d22011-09-30 11:40:20 -070043 module will be called iwlwifi.

68 This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers
69
70 This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can
71 control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
72 value in
73

Tomas Winkler4fc22b22008-07-21 18:54:42 +030075
76 This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
77
78 To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file:
79
Wey-Yi Guyadd6ff12011-10-10 07:27:07 -070080 % echo 0x43fff > /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug

82 You can find the list of debug mask values in:
83 drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h
84
85 If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here
86 as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve
87 any problems you may encounter.

107 help
108 Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO
109 accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifi will
110 register with the ftrace framework for event tracing and dump
111 all this information to the ringbuffer, you may need to
112 increase the ringbuffer size. See the ftrace documentation
113 for more information.
114
115 When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some
116 (though rather small) overhead.
117
118 If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems
119 occur.

137 This option enables experimental P2P support for some devices
138 based on microcode support. Since P2P support is still under
139 development, this option may even enable it for some devices
140 now that turn out to not support it in the future due to
141 microcode restrictions.

Wey-Yi Guyef213d62012-03-09 09:22:53 -0800143 To determine if your microcode supports the experimental P2P

145 support when it is loaded.
