NAME

SYNOPSIS
athdebug [-i device] +/- bitmap
DESCRIPTION
Set and clear debug bitmaps for the madwifi ath device subsystem. Each
argument is a bitmap or its alias. If a bitmap alias is used then it
must be prefixed by either "-" to clear or "+" to set the corresponding
bitmap.
All debugging output can be enabled with the 0xffffffff bitmap, while
0x0 disables all debug output.
