29 | This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem. | |
30 | ||
ae7486a2 | 31 | In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware |
be663ab6 WYG |
32 | image for it. You can obtain the microcode from: |
33 | ||
e00c6d8d | 34 | <https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi>. |
be663ab6 | 35 | |
ae7486a2 | 36 | The firmware is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can |
be663ab6 WYG |
37 | look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to |
38 | determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script | |
39 | runs. | |
40 | ||
41 | If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be | |
42 | inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), | |
cd238eff | 43 | say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst>. The |
3c607d27 | 44 | module will be called iwlwifi. |

88 | Enabling broadcast filtering will drop any incoming wireless | |

90 | patterns (e.g. incoming arp requests). | |
91 | ||
92 | If unsure, don't enable this option, as some programs might | |

100 | This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers |
101 | ||
102 | This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can | |
103 | control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the | |
104 | value in | |
105 | ||
add6ff1a | 106 | /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug |
4fc22b21 TW |
107 | |
108 | This entry will only exist if this option is enabled. | |
109 | ||
110 | To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file: | |
111 | ||
add6ff1a | 112 | % echo 0x43fff > /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug |
4fc22b21 TW |
113 | |
114 | You can find the list of debug mask values in: | |
115 | drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h | |
116 | ||
117 | If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here | |
118 | as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve | |
119 | any problems you may encounter. | |

be1a71a1 JB |
133 | help |
134 | Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO | |
135 | accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifi will | |
136 | register with the ftrace framework for event tracing and dump | |
137 | all this information to the ringbuffer, you may need to | |
138 | increase the ringbuffer size. See the ftrace documentation | |
139 | for more information. | |
140 | ||
141 | When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some | |
142 | (though rather small) overhead. | |
143 | ||
144 | If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems | |
145 | occur. | |
