config MAC80211_RC_PID
bool "PID controller based rate control algorithm" if EMBEDDED
default y
---help---
This option enables a TX rate control algorithm for
mac80211 that uses a PID controller to select the TX
rate.
choice
prompt "Default rate control algorithm"
default MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_PID
---help---
This option selects the default rate control algorithm
mac80211 will use. Note that this default can still be
overriden through the ieee80211_default_rc_algo module
parameter if different algorithms are available.
config MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_PID
bool "PID controller based rate control algorithm"
depends on MAC80211_RC_PID
---help---
Select the PID controller based rate control as the
default rate control algorithm. You should choose
this unless you know what you are doing.

config MAC80211_MESH
bool "Enable mac80211 mesh networking (pre-802.11s) support"
depends on MAC80211 && EXPERIMENTAL
---help---
This options enables support of Draft 802.11s mesh networking.
The implementation is based on Draft 1.08 of the Mesh Networking
amendment. For more information visit http://o11s.org/.
config MAC80211_LEDS
bool "Enable LED triggers"
depends on MAC80211
select NEW_LEDS
select LEDS_TRIGGERS
---help---
This option enables a few LED triggers for different
packet receive/transmit events.
config MAC80211_DEBUGFS
bool "Export mac80211 internals in DebugFS"
depends on MAC80211 && DEBUG_FS
---help---
Select this to see extensive information about
the internal state of mac80211 in debugfs.
Say N unless you know you need this.
menuconfig MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
bool "Select mac80211 debugging features"
depends on MAC80211
---help---
This option collects various mac80211 debug settings.
config MAC80211_DEBUG_PACKET_ALIGNMENT
bool "Enable packet alignment debugging"
depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
---help---
This option is recommended for driver authors and strongly
discouraged for everybody else, it will trigger a warning
when a driver hands mac80211 a buffer that is aligned in
a way that will cause problems with the IP stack on some
architectures.
Say N unless you're writing a mac80211 based driver.
config MAC80211_NOINLINE
bool "Do not inline TX/RX handlers"
depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
---help---
This option affects code generation in mac80211, when
selected some functions are marked "noinline" to allow
easier debugging of problems in the transmit and receive
paths.
This option increases code size a bit and inserts a lot
of function calls in the code, but is otherwise safe to
enable.
If unsure, say N unless you expect to be finding problems
in mac80211.
config MAC80211_VERBOSE_DEBUG
bool "Verbose debugging output"
depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
---help---
Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out
many debugging messages. It should not be selected
on production systems as some of the messages are
remotely triggerable.
Do not select this option.
config MAC80211_HT_DEBUG
bool "Verbose HT debugging"
depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
---help---
This option enables 802.11n High Throughput features
debug tracing output.
It should not be selected on production systems as some
of the messages are remotely triggerable.
Do not select this option.
config MAC80211_TKIP_DEBUG
bool "Verbose TKIP debugging"
depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
---help---
Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out
very verbose TKIP debugging messages. It should not
be selected on production systems as those messages
are remotely triggerable.
Do not select this option.
config MAC80211_IBSS_DEBUG
bool "Verbose IBSS debugging"
depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
---help---
Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out
very verbose IBSS debugging messages. It should not
be selected on production systems as those messages
are remotely triggerable.
Do not select this option.
config MAC80211_VERBOSE_PS_DEBUG
bool "Verbose powersave mode debugging"
depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
---help---
Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very
verbose power save mode debugging messages (when mac80211
is an AP and has power saving stations.)
It should not be selected on production systems as those
messages are remotely triggerable.
Do not select this option.
config MAC80211_VERBOSE_MPL_DEBUG
bool "Verbose mesh peer link debugging"
depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
depends on MAC80211_MESH
---help---
Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very
verbose mesh peer link debugging messages (when mac80211
is taking part in a mesh network).
It should not be selected on production systems as those
messages are remotely triggerable.
Do not select this option.
config MAC80211_LOWTX_FRAME_DUMP
bool "Debug frame dumping"
depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
---help---
Selecting this option will cause the stack to
print a message for each frame that is handed
to the lowlevel driver for transmission. This
message includes all MAC addresses and the
frame control field.
If unsure, say N and insert the debugging code
you require into the driver you are debugging.
config MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS
bool "Extra statistics for TX/RX debugging"
depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
depends on MAC80211_DEBUGFS
---help---
Selecting this option causes mac80211 to keep additional
and very verbose statistics about TX and RX handler use
and show them in debugfs.
If unsure, say N.
config MAC80211_VERBOSE_SPECT_MGMT_DEBUG
bool "Verbose Spectrum Management (IEEE 802.11h)debugging"
depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
---help---
Say Y here to print out verbose Spectrum Management (IEEE 802.11h)
debug messages.
