config CFG80211
tristate "cfg80211 - wireless configuration API"
depends on RFKILL || !RFKILL
---help---
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).
config CFG80211_REG_DEBUG
bool "cfg80211 regulatory debugging"
depends on CFG80211
default n
---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.
config CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS
bool "enable powersave by default"
depends on CFG80211
default y
help
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.
config CFG80211_DEBUGFS
bool "cfg80211 DebugFS entries"
depends on CFG80211
depends on DEBUG_FS
---help---
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
depends on CFG80211
---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:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory
Say N and if you say Y, please tell us why. The default is N.
config CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB
bool "use statically compiled regulatory rules database" if EMBEDDED
default n
depends on CFG80211
---help---
This option generates an internal data structure representing
the wireless regulatory rules described in net/wireless/db.txt
and includes code to query that database. This is an alternative
to using CRDA for defining regulatory rules for the kernel.
For details see:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory
Most distributions have a CRDA package. So if unsure, say N.
config CFG80211_WEXT
bool "cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility"
depends on CFG80211
select WEXT_CORE
default y
help
Enable this option if you need old userspace for wireless
extensions with cfg80211-based drivers.
config WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS
bool "Wireless extensions sysfs files"
default y
depends on WEXT_CORE && SYSFS
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.
config LIB80211
tristate "Common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers"
default n
help
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.
config LIB80211_CRYPT_WEP

config LIB80211_DEBUG
bool "lib80211 debugging messages"
depends on LIB80211
default n
---help---
You can enable this if you want verbose debugging messages
from lib80211.
If unsure, say N.
