| 16 | ---help--- |
| 17 | This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifilegacy |
| 18 | drivers. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can |
| 21 | control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the |
| 22 | value in |
| 23 | |
| 24 | /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/debug_level |
| 25 | |
| 26 | This entry will only exist if this option is enabled. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file: |
| 29 | |
| 30 | % echo 0x43fff > /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/debug_level |
| 31 | |
| 32 | You can find the list of debug mask values in: |
| 33 | drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifilegacy/iwl-debug.h |
| 34 | |
| 35 | If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here |
| 36 | as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve |
| 37 | any problems you may encounter. |

| 42 | ---help--- |
| 43 | Enable creation of debugfs files for the iwlwifilegacy drivers. This |
| 44 | is a low-impact option that allows getting insight into the |
| 45 | driver's state at runtime. |

| 50 | depends on EVENT_TRACING |
| 51 | help |
| 52 | Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO |
| 53 | accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifilegacy will |
| 54 | register with the ftrace framework for event tracing and dump |
| 55 | all this information to the ringbuffer, you may need to |
| 56 | increase the ringbuffer size. See the ftrace documentation |
| 57 | for more information. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some |
| 60 | (though rather small) overhead. |
| 61 | |
| 62 | If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems |
| 63 | occur. |

| 74 | Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN |
| 75 | |
| 76 | This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | In order to use this driver, you will need a microcode (uCode) |
| 79 | image for it. You can obtain the microcode from: |
| 80 | |
| 81 | <http://intellinuxwireless.org/>. |
| 82 | |
| 83 | The microcode is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can |
| 84 | look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to |
| 85 | determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script |
| 86 | runs. |
| 87 | |
| 88 | If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be |
| 89 | inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), |
| 90 | say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. The |
| 91 | module will be called iwl4965. |
