1. Introduction
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
||||
The following sections attempt to provide a brief introduction to using
|
||||
the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Driver for Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
This document is not meant to be a comprehensive manual on
|
||||
understanding or using wireless technologies, but should be sufficient
|
||||
to get you moving without wires on Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
For information on building and installing the driver, see the INSTALL
|
||||
file.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
1.2. Command Line Parameters
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Like many modules used in the Linux kernel, the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless
|
||||
2915ABG Driver for Linux allows certain configuration options to be
|
||||
provided as module parameters. The most common way to specify a module
|
||||
parameter is via the command line.
|
||||
|
||||
The general form is:
|
||||
|
||||
% modprobe ipw2200 parameter=value
|
||||
|
||||
Where the supported parameter are:
|
||||
|
||||
associate
|
||||
Set to 0 to disable the auto scan-and-associate functionality of the
|
||||
driver. If disabled, the driver will not attempt to scan
|
||||
for and associate to a network until it has been configured with
|
||||
one or more properties for the target network, for example configuring
|
||||
the network SSID. Default is 1 (auto-associate)
|
||||
|
||||
Example: % modprobe ipw2200 associate=0
|
||||
|
||||
auto_create
|
||||
Set to 0 to disable the auto creation of an Ad-Hoc network
|
||||
matching the channel and network name parameters provided.
|
||||
Default is 1.
|
||||
|
||||
channel
|
||||
channel number for association. The normal method for setting
|
||||
the channel would be to use the standard wireless tools
|
||||
(i.e. `iwconfig eth1 channel 10`), but it is useful sometimes
|
||||
to set this while debugging. Channel 0 means 'ANY'
|
||||
|
||||
debug
|
||||
If using a debug build, this is used to control the amount of debug
|
||||
info is logged. See the 'dval' and 'load' script for more info on
|
||||
how to use this (the dval and load scripts are provided as part
|
||||
of the ipw2200 development snapshot releases available from the
|
||||
SourceForge project at http://ipw2200.sf.net)
|
||||
|
||||
mode
|
||||
Can be used to set the default mode of the adapter.
|
||||
0 = Managed, 1 = Ad-Hoc
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1.3. Wireless Extension Private Methods
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
As an interface designed to handle generic hardware, there are certain
|
||||
capabilities not exposed through the normal Wireless Tool interface. As
|
||||
such, a provision is provided for a driver to declare custom, or
|
||||
private, methods. The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Driver for Linux
|
||||
defines several of these to configure various settings.
|
||||
|
||||
The general form of using the private wireless methods is:
|
||||
|
||||
% iwpriv $IFNAME method parameters
|
||||
|
||||
Where $IFNAME is the interface name the device is registered with
|
||||
(typically eth1, customized via one of the various network interface
|
||||
name managers, such as ifrename)
|
||||
|
||||
The supported private methods are:
|
||||
|
||||
get_mode
|
||||
Can be used to report out which IEEE mode the driver is
|
||||
configured to support. Example:
|
||||
|
||||
% iwpriv eth1 get_mode
|
||||
eth1 get_mode:802.11bg (6)
|
||||
|
||||
set_mode
|
||||
Can be used to configure which IEEE mode the driver will
|
||||
support.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
% iwpriv eth1 set_mode {mode}
|
||||
Where {mode} is a number in the range 1-7:
|
||||
1 802.11a (2915 only)
|
||||
2 802.11b
|
||||
3 802.11ab (2915 only)
|
||||
4 802.11g
|
||||
5 802.11ag (2915 only)
|
||||
6 802.11bg
|
||||
7 802.11abg (2915 only)
|
||||
|
||||
get_preamble
|
||||
Can be used to report configuration of preamble length.
|
||||
|
||||
set_preamble
|
||||
Can be used to set the configuration of preamble length:
|
||||
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
% iwpriv eth1 set_preamble {mode}
|
||||
Where {mode} is one of:
|
||||
1 Long preamble only
|
||||
0 Auto (long or short based on connection)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1.4. Sysfs Helper Files:
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The Linux kernel provides a pseudo file system that can be used to
|
||||
access various components of the operating system. The Intel(R)
|
||||
PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Driver for Linux exposes several configuration
|
||||
parameters through this mechanism.
|
||||
|
||||
An entry in the sysfs can support reading and/or writing. You can
|
||||
typically query the contents of a sysfs entry through the use of cat,
|
||||
and can set the contents via echo. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
% cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/debug_level
|
||||
|
||||
Will report the current debug level of the driver's logging subsystem
|
||||
(only available if CONFIG_IPW_DEBUG was configured when the driver was
|
||||
built).
|
||||
|
||||
You can set the debug level via:
|
||||
|
||||
% echo $VALUE > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/debug_level
|
||||
|
||||
Where $VALUE would be a number in the case of this sysfs entry. The
|
||||
input to sysfs files does not have to be a number. For example, the
|
||||
firmware loader used by hotplug utilizes sysfs entries for transferring
|
||||
the firmware image from user space into the driver.
|
||||
|
||||
The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Driver for Linux exposes sysfs entries
|
||||
at two levels -- driver level, which apply to all instances of the
|
||||
driver (in the event that there are more than one device installed) and
|
||||
device level, which applies only to the single specific instance.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1.4.1 Driver Level Sysfs Helper Files
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
For the driver level files, look in /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/
|
||||
|
||||
debug_level
|
||||
|
||||
This controls the same global as the 'debug' module parameter
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1.4.2 Device Level Sysfs Helper Files
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
For the device level files, look in
|
||||
|
||||
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/{PCI-ID}/
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/0000:02:01.0
|
||||
|
||||
For the device level files, see /sys/bus/pci/[drivers/ipw2200:
|
||||
|
||||
rf_kill
|
||||
read -
|
||||
0 = RF kill not enabled (radio on)
|
||||
1 = SW based RF kill active (radio off)
|
||||
2 = HW based RF kill active (radio off)
|
||||
3 = Both HW and SW RF kill active (radio off)
|
||||
write -
|
||||
0 = If SW based RF kill active, turn the radio back on
|
||||
1 = If radio is on, activate SW based RF kill
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: If you enable the SW based RF kill and then toggle the HW
|
||||
based RF kill from ON -> OFF -> ON, the radio will NOT come back on
|
||||
|
||||
ucode
|
||||
read-only access to the ucode version number
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. About the Version Numbers
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the nature of open source development projects, there are
|
||||
frequently changes being incorporated that have not gone through
|
||||
a complete validation process. These changes are incorporated into
|
||||
development snapshot releases.
|
||||
|
||||
Releases are numbered with a three level scheme:
|
||||
|
||||
major.minor.development
|
||||
|
||||
Any version where the 'development' portion is 0 (for example
|
||||
1.0.0, 1.1.0, etc.) indicates a stable version that will be made
|
||||
available for kernel inclusion.
|
||||
|
||||
Any version where the 'development' portion is not a 0 (for
|
||||
example 1.0.1, 1.1.5, etc.) indicates a development version that is
|
||||
being made available for testing and cutting edge users. The stability
|
||||
and functionality of the development releases are not know. We make
|
||||
efforts to try and keep all snapshots reasonably stable, but due to the
|
||||
frequency of their release, and the desire to get those releases
|
||||
available as quickly as possible, unknown anomalies should be expected.
|
||||
|
||||
The major version number will be incremented when significant changes
|
||||
are made to the driver. Currently, there are no major changes planned.
|
||||
|
||||
