29 This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.
31 In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware
32 image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:
34 <http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi>.
36 The firmware is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can
37 look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to
38 determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script
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),
43 say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. The
44 module will be called iwlwifi.

57 tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi DVM Firmware support"
60 This is the driver that supports the DVM firmware. The list
61 of the devices that use this firmware is available here:

65 tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi MVM Firmware support"

69 This is the driver that supports the MVM firmware. The list
70 of the devices that use this firmware is available here:

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