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

26 For more information refer to documentation on the wireless wiki:

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

36 The nl80211 testmode command helps implementing things like
37 factory calibration or validation tools for wireless chips.
38
39 Select this option ONLY for kernels that are specifically
40 built for such purposes.
41
42 Debugging tools that are supposed to end up in the hands of
43 users should better be implemented with debugfs.

50 default n
51 help
52 This option enables some additional warnings that help
53 cfg80211 developers and driver developers, but that can
54 trigger due to races with userspace.
55
56 For example, when a driver reports that it was disconnected
57 from the AP, but the user disconnects manually at the same
58 time, the warning might trigger spuriously due to races.
59
60 Say Y only if you are developing cfg80211 or a driver based
61 on it (or mac80211).

84 If this causes your applications to misbehave you should fix your
85 applications instead -- they need to register their network
86 latency requirement, see Documentation/power/pm_qos_interface.txt.

102 This option generates an internal data structure representing
