.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm wlandebug
|
|
.Nd "set/query 802.11 wireless debugging messages"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl d | Fl i Ar ifnet
|
|
.Op Fl flag|+flag Ar ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command is a tool for enabling and disabling
|
|
debugging messages in the
|
|
.Xr wlan 4
|
|
module.
|
|
Running
|
|
.Nm
|
|
without any options will display the current messages
|
|
enabled for the specified network interface
|
|
(by default, ``ath0').
|
|
The default debugging level for new interfaces can be set
|
|
by specifying the
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
option.
|
|
When run as the super-user
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can be used to enable and/or disable debugging messages.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To enable debugging messages of a certain
|
|
.Ar type
|
|
use
|
|
.Ar +type ;
|
|
to disable such messages use
|
|
.Ar -type .
|
|
Multiple messages can be enabled and disabled with a single command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Messages are organized in the following groups:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Ar dumppkts"
|
|
.It Ar debug
|
|
general debugging facilities; equivalent to setting the debug
|
|
parameter with
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
|
.It Ar dumppkts
|
|
dump packet contents on transmit and receive.
|
|
.It Ar crypto
|
|
crypto-related work.
|
|
.It Ar input
|
|
errors encountered during input handling.
|
|
.It Ar xrate
|
|
extended rate set handling (for 802.11g).
|
|
.It Ar elemid
|
|
information element processing in 802.11 management frames.
|
|
.It Ar node
|
|
management of per-station state.
|
|
.It Ar assoc
|
|
802.11 station association processing; particularly useful to
|
|
see when stations join and leave a BSS.
|
|
.It Ar auth
|
|
802.11 station authentication processing.
|
|
.It Ar scan
|
|
scanning operation; especially useful for debugging problems
|
|
with not locating an access point.
|
|
.It Ar output
|
|
errors encountered during output handling.
|
|
.It Ar state
|
|
.Xr wlan 4
|
|
state machine operation.
|
|
.It Ar power
|
|
802.11 power save operation; in hostap mode this enables
|
|
copious information about buffered frames for stations operating
|
|
in power save mode.
|
|
.It Ar hwmp
|
|
trace operation of Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol processing.
|
|
.It Ar dot1xsm
|
|
802.1x state machine operation; not presently meaningful as 802.1x protocol
|
|
support is implemented in user mode by the
|
|
.Xr hostapd 8
|
|
program.
|
|
.It Ar radius
|
|
radius backend operation as it relates to 802.1x operation;
|
|
not presently meaningful as 802.1x protocol
|
|
support is implemented in user mode by the
|
|
.Xr hostapd 8
|
|
program.
|
|
.It Ar raddump
|
|
dump packets exchanged with the radius backend for 802.1x operation;
|
|
not presently meaningful as 802.1x protocol
|
|
support is implemented in user mode by the
|
|
.Xr hostapd 8
|
|
program.
|
|
.It Ar mesh
|
|
trace operation of 802.11s mesh protocol processing.
|
|
.It Ar wpa
|
|
trace operation of the WPA protocol;
|
|
only partly meaningful as WPA protocol
|
|
support is mostly implemented in user mode by the
|
|
.Xr hostapd 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr wpa_supplicant 8
|
|
programs.
|
|
.It Ar acl
|
|
trace operation of the Access Control List (ACL) support; see
|
|
.Xr wlan_acl 4
|
|
for more details.
|
|
.It Ar wme
|
|
trace operation of WME/WMM protocol processing.
|
|
.It Ar superg
|
|
trace operation of Atheros SuperG protocol processing.
|
|
.It Ar doth
|
|
trace operation of IEEE 802.11h protocol processing.
|
|
.It Ar inact
|
|
trace station inactivity processing; in particular,
|
|
show when stations associated to an access point are dropped due to
|
|
inactivity.
|
|
.It Ar roam
|
|
trace station mode roaming between access points.
|
|
.It Ar rate
|
|
trace transmit rate control operation.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following might be used to debug basic station mode operation:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "wlandebug -i ral0 scan+auth+assoc"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
it enables debug messages while scanning, authenticating to
|
|
an access point, and associating to an access point.

|
|
.Xr athdebug 8 ,

|
.Xr athstats 8 .
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
Different wireless drivers support different debugging messages.
|
|
Drivers such as
|
|
.Xr ath 4
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr ral 4
|
|
that depend on the
|
|
.Xr wlan 4
|
|
module for 802.11 protocol processing typically support
|
|
most of the debugging messages while devices that
|
|
implement parts of the 802.11 protocol in firmware do not.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some debugging messages are no longer meaningful
|
|
because protocol processing has moved from the operating
|
|
system to user mode programs such as
|
|
.Xr hostapd 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr wpa_supplicant 8 .
