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. config IWLDVM tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi DVM Firmware support" depends on IWLWIFI default IWLWIFI help This is the driver supporting the DVM firmware which is currently the only firmware available for existing devices. config IWLMVM tristate "Intel Wireless WiFi MVM Firmware support" depends on IWLWIFI help This is the driver supporting the MVM firmware which is currently only available for 7000 series devices. Say yes if you have such a device. # don't call it _MODULE -- will confuse Kconfig/fixdep/... config IWLWIFI_OPMODE_MODULAR bool default y if IWLDVM=m default y if IWLMVM=m comment "WARNING: iwlwifi is useless without IWLDVM or IWLMVM" depends on IWLWIFI && IWLDVM=n && IWLMVM=n 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. endmenu config IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TESTMODE def_bool y depends on IWLWIFI depends on NL80211_TESTMODE help This option enables the testmode support for iwlwifi device through NL80211_TESTMODE. This provide the capabilities of enable user space validation applications to interacts with the device through the generic netlink message via NL80211_TESTMODE channel. config IWLWIFI_P2P def_bool y bool "iwlwifi experimental P2P support" depends on IWLWIFI help This option enables experimental P2P support for some devices based on microcode support. Since P2P support is still under development, this option may even enable it for some devices now that turn out to not support it in the future due to microcode restrictions. To determine if your microcode supports the experimental P2P offered by this option, check if the driver advertises AP support when it is loaded. Say Y only if you want to experiment with P2P.
