1config CFG80211
2        tristate "Improved wireless configuration API"
3
4config CFG80211_REG_DEBUG
5	bool "cfg80211 regulatory debugging"
6	depends on CFG80211
7	default n
8	---help---
9	  You can enable this if you want to debug regulatory changes.
10
11	  If unsure, say N.
12
13config NL80211
14	bool "nl80211 new netlink interface support"
15	depends on CFG80211
16	default y
17	---help---
18	  This option turns on the new netlink interface
19	  (nl80211) support in cfg80211.
20
21	  If =n, drivers using mac80211 will be configured via
22	  wireless extension support provided by that subsystem.
23
24	  If unsure, say Y.
25
26config WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY
27	bool "Old wireless static regulatory definitions"
28	default y
29	---help---
30	  This option enables the old static regulatory information
31	  and uses it within the new framework. This is available
32	  temporarily as an option to help prevent immediate issues
33	  due to the switch to the new regulatory framework which
34	  does require a new userspace application which has the
35	  database of regulatory information (CRDA) and another for
36	  setting regulatory domains (iw).
37
38	  For more information see:
39
40	  http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
41	  http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
42
43	  It is important to note though that if you *do* have CRDA present
44	  and if this option is enabled CRDA *will* be called to update the
45	  regulatory domain (for US and JP only). Support for letting the user
46	  set the regulatory domain through iw is also supported. This option
47	  mainly exists to leave around for a kernel release some old static
48	  regulatory domains that were defined and to keep around the old
49	  ieee80211_regdom module parameter. This is being phased out and you
50	  should stop using them ASAP.
51
52	  Note: You will need CRDA if you want 802.11d support
53
54	  Say Y unless you have installed a new userspace application.
55	  Also say Y if have one currently depending on the ieee80211_regdom
56	  module parameter and cannot port it to use the new userspace
57	  interfaces.
58
59config WIRELESS_EXT
60	bool "Wireless extensions"
61	default n
62	---help---
63	  This option enables the legacy wireless extensions
64	  (wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.)
65
66	  Wireless extensions will be replaced by cfg80211 and
67	  will be required only by legacy drivers that implement
68	  wireless extension handlers. This option does not
69	  affect the wireless-extension backward compatibility
70	  code in cfg80211.
71
72	  Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless
73	  extensions for external modules.
74
75config WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS
76	bool "Wireless extensions sysfs files"
77	default y
78	depends on WIRELESS_EXT && SYSFS
79	help
80	  This option enables the deprecated wireless statistics
81	  files in /sys/class/net/*/wireless/. The same information
82	  is available via the ioctls as well.
83
84	  Say Y if you have programs using it, like old versions of
85	  hal.
86
87config LIB80211
88	tristate "Common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers"
89	default n
90	help
91	  This options enables a library of common routines used
92	  by IEEE802.11 wireless LAN drivers.
93
94	  Drivers should select this themselves if needed.  Say Y if
95	  you want this built into your kernel.

111	  You can enable this if you want verbose debugging messages
112	  from lib80211.
113
114	  If unsure, say N.
