14 | ---help--- |
15 | A driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network | |
16 | Connection 802.11b wireless network adapter. | |
17 | ||
18 | See <file:Documentation/networking/README.ipw2100> for information on | |
19 | the capabilities currently enabled in this driver and for tips | |
20 | for debugging issues and problems. | |
21 | ||
22 | In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it. | |
23 | You can obtain the firmware from | |
24 | <http://ipw2100.sf.net/>. Once you have the firmware image, you | |
25 | will need to place it in /lib/firmware. | |
26 | ||
27 | You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to | |
28 | configure your card: | |
29 | ||
30 | <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>. | |
31 | ||
32 | It is recommended that you compile this driver as a module (M) | |
33 | rather than built-in (Y). This driver requires firmware at device | |
34 | initialization time, and when built-in this typically happens | |
35 | before the filesystem is accessible (hence firmware will be | |
36 | unavailable and initialization will fail). If you do choose to build | |
37 | this driver into your kernel image, you can avoid this problem by | |
38 | including the firmware and a firmware loader in an initramfs. | |

40 | config IPW2100_MONITOR | |
41 | bool "Enable promiscuous mode" | |
42 | depends on IPW2100 | |
43 | ---help--- | |
44 | Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2100 driver. | |
45 | With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to | |
46 | promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this | |
47 | mode, no packets can be sent. | |
48 | ||
49 | config IPW2100_DEBUG | |
50 | bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2100 module." | |
51 | depends on IPW2100 | |
52 | ---help--- | |
53 | This option will enable debug tracing output for the IPW2100. | |
54 | ||
55 | This will result in the kernel module being ~60k larger. You can | |
56 | control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the | |
57 | value in | |
58 | ||
59 | /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/debug_level | |
60 | ||
61 | This entry will only exist if this option is enabled. | |
62 | ||
63 | If you are not trying to debug or develop the IPW2100 driver, you | |
64 | most likely want to say N here. | |

107 | promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this | |

117 | select IPW2200_RADIOTAP | |
118 | ---help--- | |
119 | Enables the creation of a second interface prefixed 'rtap'. | |
120 | This second interface will provide every received in radiotap | |
121 | format. | |
122 | ||
123 | This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while | |
124 | maintaining an active association. | |
125 | ||
126 | Example usage: | |
127 | ||
128 | % modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1 | |
129 | % ifconfig rtap0 up | |
130 | % tethereal -i rtap0 | |
131 | ||
132 | If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' as a module parameter then | |
133 | the rtap interface will not be created and you will need to turn | |
134 | it on via sysfs: | |
135 | ||
136 | % echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface | |

143 | bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2200 module." | |
144 | depends on IPW2200 | |
145 | ---help--- | |
146 | This option will enable low level debug tracing output for IPW2200. | |
147 | ||
148 | Note, normal debug code is already compiled in. This low level | |
149 | debug option enables debug on hot paths (e.g Tx, Rx, ISR) and | |
150 | will result in the kernel module being ~70 larger. Most users | |
151 | will typically not need this high verbosity debug information. | |
152 | ||
153 | If you are not sure, say N here. | |

179 | ---help--- | |
180 | This option will enable debug tracing output for the | |
181 | libipw component. | |
182 | ||
183 | This will result in the kernel module being ~70k larger. You | |
184 | can control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by | |
185 | setting the value in | |
186 | ||
187 | /proc/net/ieee80211/debug_level | |
188 | ||
189 | For example: | |
190 | ||
191 | % echo 0x00000FFO > /proc/net/ieee80211/debug_level | |
192 | ||
193 | For a list of values you can assign to debug_level, you | |
f3734ee6 | 194 | can look at the bit mask values in ieee80211.h |
