2 tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN - Wireless-N/Advanced-N/Ultimate-N (iwlagn) "
3 depends on PCI && MAC80211
10 Select to build the driver supporting the:
12 Intel Wireless WiFi Link Next-Gen AGN
14 This option enables support for use with the following hardware:
15 Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6250AGN Adapter
16 Intel 6000 Series Wi-Fi Adapters (6200AGN and 6300AGN)
17 Intel WiFi Link 1000BGN
18 Intel Wireless WiFi 5150AGN
19 Intel Wireless WiFi 5100AGN, 5300AGN, and 5350AGN
20 Intel 6005 Series Wi-Fi Adapters
21 Intel 6030 Series Wi-Fi Adapters
22 Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6150BGN 2 Adapter
23 Intel 100 Series Wi-Fi Adapters (100BGN and 130BGN)
24 Intel 2000 Series Wi-Fi Adapters
27 This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.
29 In order to use this driver, you will need a microcode (uCode)
30 image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:
32 <http://intellinuxwireless.org/>.
34 The microcode is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can
35 look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to
36 determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script
39 If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
40 inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
41 say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. The
42 module will be called iwlagn.
44 menu "Debugging Options"
48 bool "Enable full debugging output in the iwlagn driver"
51 This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers
53 This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can
54 control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
57 /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/debug_level
59 This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
61 To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file:
63 % echo 0x43fff > /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/debug_level
65 You can find the list of debug mask values in:
66 drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h
68 If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here
69 as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve
70 any problems you may encounter.
72 config IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS
73 bool "iwlagn debugfs support"
74 depends on IWLAGN && MAC80211_DEBUGFS
76 Enable creation of debugfs files for the iwlwifi drivers. This
77 is a low-impact option that allows getting insight into the
78 driver's state at runtime.
80 config IWLWIFI_DEBUG_EXPERIMENTAL_UCODE
81 bool "Experimental uCode support"
82 depends on IWLAGN && IWLWIFI_DEBUG
84 Enable use of experimental ucode for testing and debugging.
86 config IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING
87 bool "iwlwifi device access tracing"
89 depends on EVENT_TRACING
91 Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO
92 accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifi will
93 register with the ftrace framework for event tracing and dump
94 all this information to the ringbuffer, you may need to
95 increase the ringbuffer size. See the ftrace documentation
98 When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some
99 (though rather small) overhead.
101 If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems
105 config IWLWIFI_DEVICE_SVTOOL
106 bool "iwlwifi device svtool support"
108 select NL80211_TESTMODE
110 This option enables the svtool support for iwlwifi device through
111 NL80211_TESTMODE. svtool is a software validation tool that runs in
112 the user space and interacts with the device in the kernel space
113 through the generic netlink message via NL80211_TESTMODE channel.
