 28	  This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.
 29
 30	  In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware
 31	  image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:
 32
 33	          <http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi>.
 34
 35	  The firmware is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can
 36	  look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to
 37	  determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script
 38	  runs.
 39
 40	  If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
 41	  inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
 42	  say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>.  The
 43	  module will be called iwlwifi.

 79	bool "Enable broadcast filtering"
 80	depends on IWLMVM
 81	help
 82	  Say Y here to enable default bcast filtering configuration.
 83
 84	  Enabling broadcast filtering will drop any incoming wireless
 85	  broadcast frames, except some very specific predefined
 86	  patterns (e.g. incoming arp requests).
 87
 88	  If unsure, don't enable this option, as some programs might
 89	  expect incoming broadcasts for their normal operations.

 91config IWLWIFI_UAPSD
 92	bool "enable U-APSD by default"
 93	depends on IWLMVM
 94	help
 95	  Say Y here to enable U-APSD by default. This may cause
 96	  interoperability problems with some APs, manifesting in lower than
 97	  expected throughput due to those APs not enabling aggregation
 98
 99	  If unsure, say N.

101config IWLWIFI_PCIE_RTPM

103       depends on IWLMVM && PM
104       default false
105       help
106         Say Y here to enable runtime power management for PCIe
107         devices.  If enabled, the device will go into low power mode
108         when idle for a short period of time, allowing for improved
109         power saving during runtime.
110
111	 If unsure, say N.

114
115config IWLWIFI_DEBUG
116	bool "Enable full debugging output in the iwlwifi driver"
117	---help---
118	  This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifi drivers
119
120	  This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger.  You can
121	  control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
122	  value in
123
124		/sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug
125
126	  This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
127
128	  To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file:
129
130		  % echo 0x43fff > /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/debug
131
132	  You can find the list of debug mask values in:
133		  drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debug.h
134
135	  If this is your first time using this driver, you should say Y here
136	  as the debug information can assist others in helping you resolve
137	  any problems you may encounter.
138
139config IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS
140        bool "iwlwifi debugfs support"
141        depends on MAC80211_DEBUGFS
142        ---help---
143	  Enable creation of debugfs files for the iwlwifi drivers. This
144	  is a low-impact option that allows getting insight into the
145	  driver's state at runtime.
146
147config IWLWIFI_DEBUG_EXPERIMENTAL_UCODE
148        bool "Experimental uCode support"
149        depends on IWLWIFI_DEBUG
150        ---help---
151	  Enable use of experimental ucode for testing and debugging.
152
153config IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING
154	bool "iwlwifi device access tracing"
155	depends on EVENT_TRACING
156	default y
157	help
158	  Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO
159	  accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifi will
160	  register with the ftrace framework for event tracing and dump
161	  all this information to the ringbuffer, you may need to
162	  increase the ringbuffer size. See the ftrace documentation
163	  for more information.
164
165	  When tracing is not enabled, this option still has some
166	  (though rather small) overhead.
167
168	  If unsure, say Y so we can help you better when problems
169	  occur.
