2 tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN - Wireless-N/Advanced-N/Ultimate-N (iwlwifi) "
3 depends on PCI && MAC80211 && HAS_IOMEM
6 Select to build the driver supporting the:
8 Intel Wireless WiFi Link Next-Gen AGN
10 This option enables support for use with the following hardware:
11 Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6250AGN Adapter
12 Intel 6000 Series Wi-Fi Adapters (6200AGN and 6300AGN)
13 Intel WiFi Link 1000BGN
14 Intel Wireless WiFi 5150AGN
15 Intel Wireless WiFi 5100AGN, 5300AGN, and 5350AGN
16 Intel 6005 Series Wi-Fi Adapters
17 Intel 6030 Series Wi-Fi Adapters
18 Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6150BGN 2 Adapter
19 Intel 100 Series Wi-Fi Adapters (100BGN and 130BGN)
20 Intel 2000 Series Wi-Fi Adapters
21 Intel 7260 Wi-Fi Adapter
22 Intel 3160 Wi-Fi Adapter
23 Intel 7265 Wi-Fi Adapter
26 This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.
28 In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware
29 image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:
31 <http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi>.
33 The firmware is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can
34 look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to
35 determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script
38 If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
39 inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
40 say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. The
41 module will be called iwlwifi.
47 depends on LEDS_CLASS=y || LEDS_CLASS=IWLWIFI
53 tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi DVM Firmware support"
57 This is the driver that supports the DVM firmware which is
58 used by most existing devices (with the exception of 7260
62 tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi MVM Firmware support"
65 This is the driver that supports the MVM firmware which is
66 currently only available for 7260 and 3160 devices.
68 # don't call it _MODULE -- will confuse Kconfig/fixdep/...
69 config IWLWIFI_OPMODE_MODULAR
74 comment "WARNING: iwlwifi is useless without IWLDVM or IWLMVM"
75 depends on IWLDVM=n && IWLMVM=n
77 config IWLWIFI_BCAST_FILTERING
78 bool "Enable broadcast filtering"
81 Say Y here to enable default bcast filtering configuration.
83 Enabling broadcast filtering will drop any incoming wireless
84 broadcast frames, except some very specific predefined
85 patterns (e.g. incoming arp requests).
87 If unsure, don't enable this option, as some programs might
88 expect incoming broadcasts for their normal operations.
90 menu "Debugging Options"
93 bool "Enable full debugging output in the iwlwifi driver"
95 This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers
97 This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can
98 control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
101 /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug
103 This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
105 To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file:
107 % echo 0x43fff > /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug
109 You can find the list of debug mask values in:
110 drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h
112 If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here
113 as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve
114 any problems you may encounter.
116 config IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS
117 bool "iwlwifi debugfs support"
118 depends on MAC80211_DEBUGFS
120 Enable creation of debugfs files for the iwlwifi drivers. This
121 is a low-impact option that allows getting insight into the
122 driver's state at runtime.
124 config IWLWIFI_DEBUG_EXPERIMENTAL_UCODE
125 bool "Experimental uCode support"
126 depends on IWLWIFI_DEBUG
128 Enable use of experimental ucode for testing and debugging.
130 config IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING
131 bool "iwlwifi device access tracing"
132 depends on EVENT_TRACING
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.
141 When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some
142 (though rather small) overhead.
144 If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems
