2 tristate "Improved wireless configuration API"
4 config CFG80211_REG_DEBUG
5 bool "cfg80211 regulatory debugging"
9 You can enable this if you want to debug regulatory changes.
13 config WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY
14 bool "Old wireless static regulatory definitions"
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).
25 For more information see:
27 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
28 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
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.
39 Note: You will need CRDA if you want 802.11d support
41 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
47 bool "Wireless extensions"
50 This option enables the legacy wireless extensions
51 (wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.)
53 Wireless extensions will be replaced by cfg80211 and
54 will be required only by legacy drivers that implement
55 wireless extension handlers. This option does not
56 affect the wireless-extension backward compatibility
59 Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless
60 extensions for external modules.
62 config WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS
63 bool "Wireless extensions sysfs files"
65 depends on WIRELESS_EXT && SYSFS
67 This option enables the deprecated wireless statistics
68 files in /sys/class/net/*/wireless/. The same information
69 is available via the ioctls as well.
71 Say Y if you have programs using it, like old versions of
75 tristate "Common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers"
78 This options enables a library of common routines used
79 by IEEE802.11 wireless LAN drivers.
81 Drivers should select this themselves if needed. Say Y if
82 you want this built into your kernel.
84 config LIB80211_CRYPT_WEP
87 config LIB80211_CRYPT_CCMP
90 config LIB80211_CRYPT_TKIP
94 bool "lib80211 debugging messages"
98 You can enable this if you want verbose debugging messages
