The kernel components of linux-wlan-ng currently have debugging code
enabled permanently (we'll make it optional later). To enable the
debug output, you set 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 /etc/conf.modules file:
options p80211 wlan_debug=2
To configure the prism2 driver for debug output, put the following
line (with your own level number) in your /etc/pcmcia/config.opts
file:
module "prism2sta_cs" opts "prism2_debug=2"
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
