cfg80211 is now *the* wireless configuration API. Lets also give a little explanation as to what it is and refer people to the wireless wiki for more information.

|

cfg80211 is the Linux wireless LAN (802.11) configuration API.
|
|
Enable this if you have a wireless device.
|
|
|
|
For more information refer to documentation on the wireless wiki:
|
|
|
|
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/cfg80211
|
|
|
|
When built as a module it will be called cfg80211.

config NL80211_TESTMODE
|
|
bool "nl80211 testmode command"
|
|
depends on CFG80211
|
|
help
|
|
The nl80211 testmode command helps implementing things like
|
|
factory calibration or validation tools for wireless chips.
|
|
|
|
Select this option ONLY for kernels that are specifically
|
|
built for such purposes.
|
|
|
|
Debugging tools that are supposed to end up in the hands of
|
|
users should better be implemented with debugfs.
|
|
|
|
Say N.
|
|
|

config CFG80211_DEVELOPER_WARNINGS
|
|
bool "enable developer warnings"
|
|
depends on CFG80211
|
|
default n
|
|
help
|
|
This option enables some additional warnings that help
|
|
cfg80211 developers and driver developers, but that can
|
|
trigger due to races with userspace.
|
|
|
|
For example, when a driver reports that it was disconnected
|
|
from the AP, but the user disconnects manually at the same
|
|
time, the warning might trigger spuriously due to races.
|
|
|
|
Say Y only if you are developing cfg80211 or a driver based
|
|
on it (or mac80211).
|

|

---help---
|
|
You can enable this if you want to debug regulatory changes.
|
|
For more information on cfg80211 regulatory refer to the wireless
|
|
wiki:
|
|
|
|
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.

|
|
This option enables powersave mode by default.
|
|
|
|
If this causes your applications to misbehave you should fix your
|
|
applications instead -- they need to register their network
|
|
latency requirement, see Documentation/power/pm_qos_interface.txt.

You can enable this if you want to debugfs entries for cfg80211.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.
|

|
|
config WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY
|
|
bool "Old wireless static regulatory definitions"
|
|
default n
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option enables the old static regulatory information
|
|
and uses it within the new framework. This option is available
|
|
for historical reasons and it is advised to leave it off.
|
|
|
|
For details see:
|

Say N and if you say Y, please tell us why. The default is N.
|
|
|
|
config WIRELESS_EXT
|

bool "Wireless extensions"
|
|
default y
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option enables the legacy wireless extensions
|
|
(wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.)
|
|
|
|
Say Y unless you've upgraded all your userspace to use
|
|
nl80211 instead of wireless extensions.
|
|
|
|
config WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS
|
|
bool "Wireless extensions sysfs files"
|

|

help
|
|
This option enables the deprecated wireless statistics
|
|
files in /sys/class/net/*/wireless/. The same information
|
|
is available via the ioctls as well.
|
|
|
|
Say Y if you have programs using it, like old versions of

|
hal.

This options enables a library of common routines used

by IEEE802.11 wireless LAN drivers.
|
|
|

Drivers should select this themselves if needed. Say Y if
|
|
you want this built into your kernel.
