This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.
|
|
|
|
|
2024-09-09 08:57:42 +00:00
|
|
|
In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware
|
2024-09-09 08:52:07 +00:00
|
|
|
image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:
|
|
|
|
|
2024-09-09 08:57:42 +00:00
|
|
|
<http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi>.
|

|
|
|
|
2024-09-09 08:57:42 +00:00
|
|
|
The firmware is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can
|
2024-09-09 08:52:07 +00:00
|
|
|
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.

Enabling broadcast filtering will drop any incoming wireless

broadcast frames, except some very specific predefined

patterns (e.g. incoming arp requests).

expect incoming broadcasts for their normal operations.

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
|

If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here

any problems you may encounter.

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.
