17 This option enables the old static regulatory information
18 and uses it within the new framework. This is available
19 temporarily as an option to help prevent immediate issues
20 due to the switch to the new regulatory framework which
21 does require a new userspace application which has the
22 database of regulatory information (CRDA) and another for
23 setting regulatory domains (iw).

28 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
29
30 It is important to note though that if you *do* have CRDA present
31 and if this option is enabled CRDA *will* be called to update the
32 regulatory domain (for US and JP only). Support for letting the user
33 set the regulatory domain through iw is also supported. This option
34 mainly exists to leave around for a kernel release some old static
35 regulatory domains that were defined and to keep around the old
36 ieee80211_regdom module parameter. This is being phased out and you
37 should stop using them ASAP.
38
Luis R. Rodriguez3f2355c2008-11-12 14:22:02 -080039 Note: You will need CRDA if you want 802.11d support
40
Arjan van de Ven44a504c2008-10-26 10:25:30 -070041 Say Y unless you have installed a new userspace application.
42 Also say Y if have one currently depending on the ieee80211_regdom
43 module parameter and cannot port it to use the new userspace
44 interfaces.

50 This option enables the legacy wireless extensions
51 (wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.)
52
53 Wireless extensions will be replaced by cfg80211 and
54 will be required only by legacy drivers that implement
Johannes Berg55682962007-09-20 13:09:35 -040055 wireless extension handlers. This option does not
56 affect the wireless-extension backward compatibility
57 code in cfg80211.
Johannes Berg2a5e1c02007-04-23 12:19:12 -070058
59 Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless
60 extensions for external modules.

69 is available via the ioctls as well.
