19 See <file:Documentation/networking/device_drivers/wifi/intel/ipw2100.rst>
20 for information on the capabilities currently enabled in this driver
21 and for tips for debugging issues and problems.
22
23 In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it.
24 You can obtain the firmware from
25 <http://ipw2100.sf.net/>. Once you have the firmware image, you
26 will need to place it in /lib/firmware.
27
28 You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
29 configure your card:
30
31 <https://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
32
33 It is recommended that you compile this driver as a module (M)
34 rather than built-in (Y). This driver requires firmware at device
35 initialization time, and when built-in this typically happens
36 before the filesystem is accessible (hence firmware will be
37 unavailable and initialization will fail). If you do choose to build
38 this driver into your kernel image, you can avoid this problem by
39 including the firmware and a firmware loader in an initramfs.

46 With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
47 promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this
48 mode, no packets can be sent.
