Intel WiFi devices 3945 and 4965 now have their own driver in the folder drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy Add support to build these drivers independently of the driver for AGN devices. Selecting the 3945 builds iwl3945.ko and iwl_legacy.ko, and selecting the 4965 builds iwl4965.ko and iwl_legacy.ko. iwl-legacy.ko contains code shared between both devices. The 3945 is an ABG/BG device, with no support for 802.11n. The 4965 is a 2x3 ABGN device.

This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.
|
|
|
|
In order to use this driver, you will need a microcode (uCode)
|
|
image for it. You can obtain the microcode from:
|
|
|
|
<http://intellinuxwireless.org/>.
|
|
|
|
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 <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. The
|
|
module will be called iwlagn.

---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/class/net/wlan0/device/debug_level
|
|
|
|
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/class/net/wlan0/device/debug_level
|
|
|
|
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.

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.

config IWL_P2P

bool "iwlwifi experimental P2P support"
|
|
depends on IWLAGN
|
|
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.
