The kernel components of linux-wlan currently have debugging code
|
|
that can be enabled via a "make config" option. If debug output
|
|
has been compiled into a driver, enable it by setting the value of the
|
|
module parameter xxx_debug
|
|
where xxx is the name of the component. There are five levels of
|
|
debugging (1-5). Here's a summary of the levels and their usage:
|
|
1 - Enables most error messages for exception (but rare) conditions
|
|
2 - Enables more exceptions
|
|
3 - Enables MAC status output
|
|
4 - More status
|
|
5 - Function entry and exit
|
|
|
|
The levels are additive. For example, level 3 includes level 3
|
|
messages plus levels 1 and 2.
|
|
|
|
To configure p80211.o for debug output, put the following line (with
|
|
your own level number) in your modutils configuration file (usually
|
|
/etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf):
|
|
|
|
options p80211 wlan_debug=2
|
|
|
|
To configure the prism2_cs driver for debug output, put the following
|
|
line (with your own level number) in your /etc/pcmcia/config.opts
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
module "prism2_cs" opts "prism2_debug=2"
|
|
|
|
To configure the PCI, PLX, or USB driver for debug output, put the following
|
|
line (with your own level number) in your modutils configuration file (usually
|
|
/etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf):
|
|
|
|
options prism2_pci prism2_debug=3
|
|
options prism2_plx prism2_debug=3
|
|
options prism2_usb prism2_debug=3
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then configure the collection and display of your kernel output. This
|
|
is usually done using syslog. Here are the relevant entries from the
|
|
/etc/syslog.conf file on one of our test machines:
|
|
|
|
kern.* /var/log/kernel
|
|
kern.* /dev/tty9
|
|
*.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none /var/log/messages
|
|
*.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none /dev/tty10
