John W. Linvilled6084cb2007-12-21 00:43:34 -0500[diff] [blame]9 This option turns on the new netlink interface

13 wireless extension support provided by that subsystem.

21 This option enables the legacy wireless extensions
22 (wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.)

24 Wireless extensions will be replaced by cfg80211 and
25 will be required only by legacy drivers that implement
Johannes Berg55682962007-09-20 13:09:35 -0400[diff] [blame]26 wireless extension handlers. This option does not
27 affect the wireless-extension backward compatibility
28 code in cfg80211.

30 Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless
31 extensions for external modules.
