iwlwifi: split the drivers for agn and legacy devices 3945/4965
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.

+config IWLWIFI_LEGACY_DEBUG

+ depends on IWLWIFI_LEGACY
+ ---help---
+ This option will enable debug tracing output for the iwlwifilegacy
+ 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/iwlwifilegacy/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.

+ bool "4965 and 3945 debugfs support"
+ depends on IWLWIFI_LEGACY && MAC80211_DEBUGFS
+ ---help---
+ Enable creation of debugfs files for the iwlwifilegacy drivers. This
+ is a low-impact option that allows getting insight into the
+ driver's state at runtime.
+
+config IWLWIFI_LEGACY_DEVICE_TRACING
+ bool "iwlwifilegacy legacy device access tracing"
+ depends on IWLWIFI_LEGACY
+ depends on EVENT_TRACING
+ help
+ Say Y here to trace all commands, including TX frames and IO
+ accesses, sent to the device. If you say yes, iwlwifilegacy 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.
