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.
