	  for information on the capabilities currently enabled in this driver

22 23

	  In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it.
24 25
	  You can obtain the firmware from
	  <http://ipw2100.sf.net/>.  Once you have the firmware image, you
26 27
	  will need to place it in /lib/firmware.

28 29
	  You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
	  configure your card:

	  <http://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.

45
	  Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2100 driver.
46
	  With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
47 48 49 50 51 52
	  promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode.  While in this
	  mode, no packets can be sent.

config IPW2100_DEBUG
	bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2100 module."

54
	  This option will enable debug tracing output for the IPW2100.
55

56 57 58
	  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
59 60 61 62 63

	  /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/debug_level

	  This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.

64
	  If you are not trying to debug or develop the IPW2100 driver, you
65 66 67 68
	  most likely want to say N here.

	  This second interface will provide every received in radiotap
123 124
	  format.

125 126 127 128
	  This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while
	  maintaining an active association.

	  Example usage:
129

130 131 132
	    % modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
	    % ifconfig rtap0 up
	    % tethereal -i rtap0
133

134 135 136
	  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:
137

138
	    % 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.

	  If you are not sure, say N here.

	  For example:

	  % echo 0x00000FFO > /proc/net/ieee80211/debug_level

	  For a list of values you can assign to debug_level, you
