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

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.

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

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.

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.
