4. Sysfs Helper Files
---------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
=====================
There are several ways to control the behavior of the driver. Many of the
general capabilities are exposed through the Wireless Tools (iwconfig). There
are a few capabilities that are exposed through entries in the Linux Sysfs.
----- Driver Level ------
**Driver Level**
For the driver level files, look in /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/
debug_level
This controls the same global as the 'debug' module parameter. For
information on the various debugging levels available, run the 'dvals'
script found in the driver source directory.
NOTE: 'debug_level' is only enabled if CONFIG_IPW2100_DEBUG is turn
on.
.. note::
----- Device Level ------
For the device level files look in
'debug_level' is only enabled if CONFIG_IPW2100_DEBUG is turn on.
**Device Level**
For the device level files look in::
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/{PCI-ID}/
For example:
For example::
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/0000:02:01.0
For the device level files, see /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100:

0 = RF kill not enabled (radio on)

3 = Both HW and SW RF kill active (radio off)

1 = If radio is on, activate SW based RF kill

.. note::
If you enable the SW based RF kill and then toggle the HW
based RF kill from ON -> OFF -> ON, the radio will NOT come back on
5. Radio Kill Switch

Some vendors have implemented this as a physical switch that requires no
software to turn the radio off and on. On other laptops, however, the switch

the following different modes:
