+ select WIRELESS_EXT

+ ---help---
+ A driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network
+ Connection 802.11b wireless network adapter.
+
+ See <file:Documentation/networking/README.ipw2100> for information on
+ the capabilities currently enabled in this driver and for tips
+ for debugging issues and problems.
+
+ In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it.
+ You can obtain the firmware from
+ <http://ipw2100.sf.net/>. Once you have the firmware image, you
+ will need to place it in /lib/firmware.
+
+ You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
+ configure your card:
+
+ <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
+
+ It is recommended that you compile this driver as a module (M)
+ rather than built-in (Y). This driver requires firmware at device
+ initialization time, and when built-in this typically happens
+ before the filesystem is accessible (hence firmware will be
+ unavailable and initialization will fail). If you do choose to build
+ this driver into your kernel image, you can avoid this problem by
+ including the firmware and a firmware loader in an initramfs.
+
+config IPW2100_MONITOR
+ bool "Enable promiscuous mode"
+ depends on IPW2100
+ ---help---
+ Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2100 driver.
+ With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
+ promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this
+ mode, no packets can be sent.
+
+config IPW2100_DEBUG
+ bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2100 module."
+ depends on IPW2100
+ ---help---
+ This option will enable debug tracing output for the IPW2100.
+
+ This will result in the kernel module being ~60k larger. You can
+ control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
+ value in
+
+ /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/debug_level
+
+ This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
+
+ If you are not trying to debug or develop the IPW2100 driver, you
+ most likely want to say N here.

+ With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
+ promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this

+
+config IPW2200_PROMISCUOUS
+ bool "Enable creation of a RF radiotap promiscuous interface"
+ depends on IPW2200_MONITOR
+ select IPW2200_RADIOTAP
+ ---help---
+ Enables the creation of a second interface prefixed 'rtap'.
+ This second interface will provide every received in radiotap
+ format.
+
+ This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while
+ maintaining an active association.
+
+ Example usage:
+
+ % modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
+ % ifconfig rtap0 up
+ % tethereal -i rtap0
+
+ If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' as a module parameter then
+ the rtap interface will not be created and you will need to turn
+ it on via sysfs:
+
+ % echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface
+
+config IPW2200_QOS
+ bool "Enable QoS support"
+ depends on IPW2200
+
+config IPW2200_DEBUG
+ bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2200 module."
+ depends on IPW2200
+ ---help---
+ This option will enable low level debug tracing output for IPW2200.
+
+ Note, normal debug code is already compiled in. This low level
+ debug option enables debug on hot paths (e.g Tx, Rx, ISR) and
+ will result in the kernel module being ~70 larger. Most users
+ will typically not need this high verbosity debug information.
+
+ If you are not sure, say N here.

+ ---help---
+ This option enables the hardware independent IEEE 802.11
+ networking stack. This component is deprecated in favor of the
+ mac80211 component.
+
+config LIBIPW_DEBUG
+ bool "Full debugging output for the LIBIPW component"
+ depends on LIBIPW
+ ---help---
+ This option will enable debug tracing output for the
+ libipw component.
+
+ This will result in the kernel module being ~70k larger. You
+ can control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by
+ setting the value in
+
+ /proc/net/ieee80211/debug_level
+
+ For example:
+
+ % echo 0x00000FFO > /proc/net/ieee80211/debug_level
+
+ For a list of values you can assign to debug_level, you
+ can look at the bit mask values in ieee80211.h
+
+ If you are not trying to debug or develop the libipw
+ component, you most likely want to say N here.
