[PATCH] ipw2200: always enable frequently used debugging code
Moving part of the debugging code from IPW_DEBUG to IPW_LL_DEBUG (low level
debugging) and make IPW_DEBUG be always enabled. IPW_LL_DEBUG still needs
to be enabled by selecting CONFIG_IPW2200_DEBUG. But it is highly
deprecated for normal users since it adds higher debug verbosity in driver
hot paths.

- This option will enable debug tracing output for the IPW2200.
+ This option will enable low level debug tracing output for IPW2200.
- This will result in the kernel module being ~100k larger. You can
- control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
- value in

+ debug option enables debug on hot paths (e.g Tx, Rx, ISR) and

- This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.

- To set a value, simply echo an 8-byte hex value to the same file:
-
- % echo 0x00000FFO > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/debug_level

- You can find the list of debug mask values in
