2 tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN - Wireless-N/Advanced-N/Ultimate-N (iwlwifi) "
3 depends on PCI && MAC80211 && HAS_IOMEM
11 Select to build the driver supporting the:
13 Intel Wireless WiFi Link Next-Gen AGN
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
19 Intel Wireless WiFi 5150AGN
20 Intel Wireless WiFi 5100AGN, 5300AGN, and 5350AGN
21 Intel 6005 Series Wi-Fi Adapters
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.
30 In order to use this driver, you will need a microcode (uCode)
31 image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:
33 <http://intellinuxwireless.org/>.
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
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
43 module will be called iwlwifi.
46 tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi"
49 menu "Debugging Options"
53 bool "Enable full debugging output in the iwlwifi driver"
56 This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers
58 This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can
59 control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
62 /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug
64 This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
66 To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file:
68 % echo 0x43fff > /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug
70 You can find the list of debug mask values in:
71 drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h
73 If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here
74 as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve
75 any problems you may encounter.
77 config IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS
78 bool "iwlwifi debugfs support"
79 depends on IWLWIFI && MAC80211_DEBUGFS
81 Enable creation of debugfs files for the iwlwifi drivers. This
82 is a low-impact option that allows getting insight into the
83 driver's state at runtime.
85 config IWLWIFI_DEBUG_EXPERIMENTAL_UCODE
86 bool "Experimental uCode support"
87 depends on IWLWIFI && IWLWIFI_DEBUG
89 Enable use of experimental ucode for testing and debugging.
91 config IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING
92 bool "iwlwifi device access tracing"
94 depends on EVENT_TRACING
96 Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO
97 accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifi will
98 register with the ftrace framework for event tracing and dump
99 all this information to the ringbuffer, you may need to
100 increase the ringbuffer size. See the ftrace documentation
101 for more information.
103 When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some
104 (though rather small) overhead.
106 If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems
110 config IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TESTMODE
113 depends on NL80211_TESTMODE
115 This option enables the testmode support for iwlwifi device through
116 NL80211_TESTMODE. This provide the capabilities of enable user space
117 validation applications to interacts with the device through the
118 generic netlink message via NL80211_TESTMODE channel.
122 bool "iwlwifi experimental P2P support"
125 This option enables experimental P2P support for some devices
126 based on microcode support. Since P2P support is still under
127 development, this option may even enable it for some devices
128 now that turn out to not support it in the future due to
129 microcode restrictions.
131 To determine if your microcode supports the experimental P2P
132 offered by this option, check if the driver advertises AP
133 support when it is loaded.
135 Say Y only if you want to experiment with P2P.
137 config IWLWIFI_EXPERIMENTAL_MFP
138 bool "support MFP (802.11w) even if uCode doesn't advertise"
141 This option enables experimental MFP (802.11W) support
142 even if the microcode doesn't advertise it.
144 Say Y only if you want to experiment with MFP.
