ENUM ATH5K_DEBUG_LEVEL(9)

💖 NAME 💖

enum ath5k_debug_level — literally the ath5k debug level, that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay bestie, here's the whole enum, look at all these constants:

enum ath5k_debug_level {
    ATH5K_DEBUG_RESET ,
    ATH5K_DEBUG_INTR ,
    ATH5K_DEBUG_MODE ,
    ATH5K_DEBUG_XMIT ,
    ATH5K_DEBUG_BEACON ,
    ATH5K_DEBUG_CALIBRATE ,
    ATH5K_DEBUG_TXPOWER ,
    ATH5K_DEBUG_LED ,
    ATH5K_DEBUG_DUMPBANDS ,
    ATH5K_DEBUG_DMA ,
    ATH5K_DEBUG_ANI ,
    ATH5K_DEBUG_DESC ,
    ATH5K_DEBUG_ANY

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

so here's what each one is giving, one by one 🫶

• ATH5K_DEBUG_RESET — reset processing, the "start over era" of debug messages 💅
• ATH5K_DEBUG_INTR — interrupt handling, all the little interrupts doing their thing ⚡
• ATH5K_DEBUG_MODE — mode init/setup, the getting-ready montage 🧚
• ATH5K_DEBUG_XMIT — basic xmit operation, the actual sending of packets, main character behavior 👑
• ATH5K_DEBUG_BEACON — beacon handling, beacons be beaconing 🌈
• ATH5K_DEBUG_CALIBRATE — periodic calibration, the little tune-ups on the reg 🎀
• ATH5K_DEBUG_TXPOWER — transmit power setting, how loud we're yelling 🔥
• ATH5K_DEBUG_LED — led management, the blinkenlights, iconic honestly ✨
• ATH5K_DEBUG_DUMPBANDS — dump bands, yeah it dumps the bands, no notes 💀
• ATH5K_DEBUG_DMA — debug dma start/stop, the DMA getting its own little spotlight 🦋
• ATH5K_DEBUG_ANI — debug Adaptive Noise Immunity, capital letters because it's That Girl 💜
• ATH5K_DEBUG_DESC — descriptor setup, descriptors being set up, we love a setup 🌸
• ATH5K_DEBUG_ANY — show at any debug level, the "all of the above" option, the people's champ ⭐

✨ Description ✨

okay so here's the whole point, bestie: this debug level controls how much debugging output you get and what type of it you see. that's the entire serve 💅

when the code calls ATH5K_DBG, it passes the debug level in, and that's how it knows where the message should appear. and you, the user, get to control which debugging messages you actually want to see — either by the module parameter 'debug' when you load the module, or dynamically at runtime using debugfs 'ath5k/phyX/debug'. slay, options ✨

and the actual big-brain bit: these levels can be combined together by bitwise OR. so you're not stuck picking just one, you can stack them fr fr 🫶
