A driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network

Connection 802.11b wireless network adapter.
|
|
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.

help
|
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
|
mode, no packets can be sent.
|
|
config IPW2100_DEBUG

|
help
|
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.

help
|
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.

help
|
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.
