| ---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. |
| |
| config WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY |
| bool "Old wireless static regulatory definitions" |
| default y |
| ---help--- |
| This option enables the old static regulatory information |
| and uses it within the new framework. This is available |
| temporarily as an option to help prevent immediate issues |
| due to the switch to the new regulatory framework which |
| does require a new userspace application which has the |
| database of regulatory information (CRDA) and another for |
| setting regulatory domains (iw). |
| |
| For more information see: |
| |
| http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA |
| http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw |
| |
| It is important to note though that if you *do* have CRDA present |
| and if this option is enabled CRDA *will* be called to update the |
| regulatory domain (for US and JP only). Support for letting the user |
| set the regulatory domain through iw is also supported. This option |
| mainly exists to leave around for a kernel release some old static |
| regulatory domains that were defined and to keep around the old |
| ieee80211_regdom module parameter. This is being phased out and you |
| should stop using them ASAP. |
| |
| Note: You will need CRDA if you want 802.11d support |
| |
| Say Y unless you have installed a new userspace application. |
| Also say Y if have one currently depending on the ieee80211_regdom |
| module parameter and cannot port it to use the new userspace |
| interfaces. |

| config WIRELESS_EXT |
| bool "Wireless extensions" |
| default n |
| ---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. |
| |
| config WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS |
| bool "Wireless extensions sysfs files" |
| default y |
| depends on WIRELESS_EXT && 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 |

| 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. |
