config IWLWIFI tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN - Wireless-N/Advanced-N/Ultimate-N (iwlwifi) " depends on PCI && MAC80211 && HAS_IOMEM select FW_LOADER ---help--- Select to build the driver supporting the: Intel Wireless WiFi Link Next-Gen AGN This option enables support for use with the following hardware: Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6250AGN Adapter Intel 6000 Series Wi-Fi Adapters (6200AGN and 6300AGN) Intel WiFi Link 1000BGN Intel Wireless WiFi 5150AGN Intel Wireless WiFi 5100AGN, 5300AGN, and 5350AGN Intel 6005 Series Wi-Fi Adapters Intel 6030 Series Wi-Fi Adapters Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6150BGN 2 Adapter Intel 100 Series Wi-Fi Adapters (100BGN and 130BGN) Intel 2000 Series Wi-Fi Adapters Intel 7260 Wi-Fi Adapter Intel 3160 Wi-Fi Adapter Intel 7265 Wi-Fi Adapter This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem. In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it. You can obtain the microcode from: <http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi>. The firmware is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script runs. If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. The module will be called iwlwifi. if IWLWIFI config IWLWIFI_LEDS bool depends on LEDS_CLASS=y || LEDS_CLASS=IWLWIFI select LEDS_TRIGGERS select MAC80211_LEDS default y config IWLDVM tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi DVM Firmware support" default IWLWIFI help This is the driver that supports the DVM firmware which is used by most existing devices (with the exception of 7260 and 3160). config IWLMVM tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi MVM Firmware support" help This is the driver that supports the MVM firmware which is currently only available for 7260 and 3160 devices. # don't call it _MODULE -- will confuse Kconfig/fixdep/... config IWLWIFI_OPMODE_MODULAR bool default y if IWLDVM=m default y if IWLMVM=m comment "WARNING: iwlwifi is useless without IWLDVM or IWLMVM" depends on IWLDVM=n && IWLMVM=n config IWLWIFI_BCAST_FILTERING bool "Enable broadcast filtering" depends on IWLMVM help Say Y here to enable default bcast filtering configuration. Enabling broadcast filtering will drop any incoming wireless broadcast frames, except some very specific predefined patterns (e.g. incoming arp requests). If unsure, don't enable this option, as some programs might expect incoming broadcasts for their normal operations. config IWLWIFI_UAPSD bool "enable U-APSD by default" depends on IWLMVM help Say Y here to enable U-APSD by default. This may cause interoperability problems with some APs, manifesting in lower than expected throughput due to those APs not enabling aggregation If unsure, say N. menu "Debugging Options" config IWLWIFI_DEBUG bool "Enable full debugging output in the iwlwifi driver" ---help--- This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the value in /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug This entry will only exist if this option is enabled. To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file: % echo 0x43fff > /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug You can find the list of debug mask values in: drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve any problems you may encounter. config IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS bool "iwlwifi debugfs support" depends on MAC80211_DEBUGFS ---help--- Enable creation of debugfs files for the iwlwifi drivers. This is a low-impact option that allows getting insight into the driver's state at runtime. config IWLWIFI_DEBUG_EXPERIMENTAL_UCODE bool "Experimental uCode support" depends on IWLWIFI_DEBUG ---help--- Enable use of experimental ucode for testing and debugging. config IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING bool "iwlwifi device access tracing" depends on EVENT_TRACING help Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifi will register with the ftrace framework for event tracing and dump all this information to the ringbuffer, you may need to increase the ringbuffer size. See the ftrace documentation for more information. When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some (though rather small) overhead. If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems occur. endmenu endif
