15 | Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6250AGN Adapter | |
16 | Intel 6000 Series Wi-Fi Adapters (6200AGN and 6300AGN) | |

27 | This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem. | |
28 | ||
29 | In order to use this driver, you will need a microcode (uCode) | |
30 | image for it. You can obtain the microcode from: | |
31 | ||
32 | <http://intellinuxwireless.org/>. | |
33 | ||
34 | The microcode is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can | |
35 | look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to | |
36 | determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script | |
37 | runs. | |
38 | ||
39 | If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be | |
40 | inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), | |
41 | say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. The | |
42 | module will be called iwlagn. | |

50 | ---help--- |
51 | This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers | |
52 | ||
53 | This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can | |
54 | control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the | |
55 | value in | |
56 | ||
57 | /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/debug_level | |
58 | ||
59 | This entry will only exist if this option is enabled. | |
60 | ||
61 | To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file: | |
62 | ||
63 | % echo 0x43fff > /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/debug_level | |
64 | ||
65 | You can find the list of debug mask values in: | |
66 | drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h | |
67 | ||
68 | If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here | |
69 | as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve | |
70 | any problems you may encounter. | |

89 | depends on EVENT_TRACING |
90 | help | |
91 | Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO | |
92 | accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifi will | |
93 | register with the ftrace framework for event tracing and dump | |
94 | all this information to the ringbuffer, you may need to | |
95 | increase the ringbuffer size. See the ftrace documentation | |
96 | for more information. | |
97 | ||
98 | When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some | |
99 | (though rather small) overhead. | |
100 | ||
101 | If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems | |
102 | occur. | |

113 | through the generic netlink message via NL80211_TESTMODE channel. |
