| ---help--- |
| This option turns on the new netlink interface |
| (nl80211) support in cfg80211. |
| |
| If =n, drivers using mac80211 will be configured via |
| wireless extension support provided by that subsystem. |

| If unsure, say Y. |

| ---help--- |
| This option enables the legacy wireless extensions |
| (wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.) |
| |
| Wireless extensions will be replaced by cfg80211 and |
| will be required only by legacy drivers that implement |
| wireless extension handlers. This option does not |
| affect the wireless-extension backward compatibility |
| code in cfg80211. |
| |
| Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless |
| extensions for external modules. |

| 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 (we don't know of any). |
