+
+ 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 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
+ Intel 3165 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.

+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.
