[PATCH] ipw2200: always enable frequently used debugging code
Moving part of the debugging code from IPW_DEBUG to IPW_LL_DEBUG (low level debugging) and make IPW_DEBUG be always enabled. IPW_LL_DEBUG still needs to be enabled by selecting CONFIG_IPW2200_DEBUG. But it is highly deprecated for normal users since it adds higher debug verbosity in driver hot paths. Signed-off-by: Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

---help---
- This option will enable debug tracing output for the IPW2200.
+ This option will enable low level debug tracing output for IPW2200.
- 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/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/debug_level
-
- This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
+ 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.
- To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file:
-
- % echo 0x00000FFO > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/debug_level
-
- You can find the list of debug mask values in
- drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.h
-
- If you are not trying to debug or develop the IPW2200 driver, you
- most likely want to say N here.
+ If you are not sure, say N here.
