See <file:Documentation/networking/device_drivers/wifi/intel/ipw2100.rst> |
|
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: |
|
|
|
<https://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. |

|
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. |

|
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. |

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 |

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 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.
