config IWLWIFI

depends on PCI && MAC80211 && HAS_IOMEM
iwlwifi: Fix and rework Kconfig file Fixes: - iwlwifi is an optional driver and should thus not default to 'y'. - 3945 now depends on IWLCORE. Rework: - There is not a case when IWLCORE should not be selected. At the same time the driver does not use IWLWIFI or IWLCORE. We can just merge the usage of these two. With IWLWIFI being the driver name we proceed to use just it and replace instances of IWLCORE with it. The module name does not change and is still iwlcore. - Both IWLAGN and IWL3945 are selecting FW_LOADER, we can thus just move this up to one select when IWLWIFI is selected. - IWL5000 now supports Intel Wireless Wifi 100, 6000, and 6050 series. - Now that 3945 depends on IWLWIFI we can also indicate its dependency on MAC80211_LEDS and LEDS_CLASS at this level. - IWLAGN_LEDS is not used by driver - remove it. - IWLAGN_SPECTRUM_MEASUREMENT actually depends on IWLWIFI as it forms part of iwlcore module. Move this config up in Kconfig to reflect that and also change name to IWLWIFI_SPECTRUM_MEASUREMENT. - CONFIG_IWLWIFI_RFKILL is used by iwlagn as well as iwl3945, add text to description that indicates this. - CONFIG_IWL3945_RFKILL does not exist - remove usage from driver. - Add "iwlagn" to end of description of IWLAGN to help people understand what iwlagn means in rest of Kconfig text. - Add "iwl3945" to end of description of IWL3945 to help people understand what iwlagn means in rest of Kconfig text. - Change IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS description to indicate that only iwlagn supports it (for now).

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.

tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi DVM Firmware support"
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"
help
This is the driver that supports the MVM firmware which is
currently only available for 7260 and 3160 devices.

comment "WARNING: iwlwifi is useless without IWLDVM or IWLMVM"

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.
