Select to build the driver supporting the:
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 Wireless WiFi 5100AGN, 5300AGN, and 5350AGN
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
This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.
In order to use this driver, you will need a microcode (uCode)
image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:
.
The microcode 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 . The
module will be called iwlwifi.

default IWLWIFI
help
This is the driver that supports the DVM firmware which is
used by most existing devices (with the exception of 7260
and 3160).
config IWLMVM
tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi MVM Firmware support"
depends on IWLWIFI
help
This is the driver that supports the MVM firmware which is
currently only available for 7260 and 3160 devices.
# don't call it _MODULE -- will confuse Kconfig/fixdep/...
config IWLWIFI_OPMODE_MODULAR
bool
default y if IWLDVM=m
default y if IWLMVM=m

depends on IWLWIFI && IWLDVM=n && IWLMVM=n
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.
menu "Debugging Options"
depends on IWLWIFI
config IWLWIFI_DEBUG
bool "Enable full debugging output in the iwlwifi driver"
depends on IWLWIFI
---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 IWLWIFI && 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 && IWLWIFI_DEBUG
---help---
Enable use of experimental ucode for testing and debugging.
config IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING
bool "iwlwifi device access tracing"
depends on IWLWIFI
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.
