28 This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.
30 In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware
31 image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:
33 <http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi>.
35 The firmware 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.
49 depends on LEDS_CLASS=y || LEDS_CLASS=IWLWIFI
55 tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi DVM Firmware support"
58 This is the driver that supports the DVM firmware. The list
59 of the devices that use this firmware is available here:
60 https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi#firmware
63 tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi MVM Firmware support"
64 select WANT_DEV_COREDUMP
67 This is the driver that supports the MVM firmware. The list
68 of the devices that use this firmware is available here:

71 # don't call it _MODULE -- will confuse Kconfig/fixdep/...
72 config IWLWIFI_OPMODE_MODULAR
77 comment "WARNING: iwlwifi is useless without IWLDVM or IWLMVM"
78 depends on IWLDVM=n && IWLMVM=n
80 config IWLWIFI_BCAST_FILTERING
81 bool "Enable broadcast filtering"
84 Say Y here to enable default bcast filtering configuration.
86 Enabling broadcast filtering will drop any incoming wireless
87 broadcast frames, except some very specific predefined
88 patterns (e.g. incoming arp requests).
90 If unsure, don't enable this option, as some programs might
91 expect incoming broadcasts for their normal operations.
93 config IWLWIFI_PCIE_RTPM
94 bool "Enable runtime power management mode for PCIe devices"
95 depends on IWLMVM && PM && EXPERT
97 Say Y here to enable runtime power management for PCIe
98 devices. If enabled, the device will go into low power mode
99 when idle for a short period of time, allowing for improved
100 power saving during runtime. Note that this feature requires
101 a tight integration with the platform. It is not recommended
102 to enable this feature without proper validation with the
103 specific target platform.
107 menu "Debugging Options"
110 bool "Enable full debugging output in the iwlwifi driver"
112 This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers
114 This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can
115 control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
118 /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug
120 This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
122 To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file:
124 % echo 0x43fff > /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug
126 You can find the list of debug mask values in:
127 drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h
129 If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here
130 as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve
131 any problems you may encounter.
133 config IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS
134 bool "iwlwifi debugfs support"
135 depends on MAC80211_DEBUGFS
137 Enable creation of debugfs files for the iwlwifi drivers. This
138 is a low-impact option that allows getting insight into the
139 driver's state at runtime.
141 config IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING
142 bool "iwlwifi device access tracing"
143 depends on EVENT_TRACING
146 Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO
147 accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifi will
148 register with the ftrace framework for event tracing and dump
149 all this information to the ringbuffer, you may need to
150 increase the ringbuffer size. See the ftrace documentation
151 for more information.
153 When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some
154 (though rather small) overhead.
156 If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems
