5 cfg80211 is the Linux wireless LAN (802.11) configuration API.
6 Enable this if you have a wireless device.

12 When built as a module it will be called cfg80211.

17 help
18 The nl80211 testmode command helps implementing things like
19 factory calibration or validation tools for wireless chips.
20
21 Select this option ONLY for kernels that are specifically
22 built for such purposes.
23
24 Debugging tools that are supposed to end up in the hands of
25 users should better be implemented with debugfs.

32 default n
33 help
34 This option enables some additional warnings that help
35 cfg80211 developers and driver developers, but that can
36 trigger due to races with userspace.
37
38 For example, when a driver reports that it was disconnected
39 from the AP, but the user disconnects manually at the same
40 time, the warning might trigger spuriously due to races.
41
42 Say Y only if you are developing cfg80211 or a driver based
43 on it (or mac80211).
