2 tristate "Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)"
3 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
13 This option enables the hardware independent IEEE 802.11
16 menu "Rate control algorithm selection"
17 depends on MAC80211 != n
20 prompt "Default rate control algorithm"
21 default MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_PID
23 This option selects the default rate control algorithm
24 mac80211 will use. Note that this default can still be
25 overriden through the ieee80211_default_rc_algo module
26 parameter if different algorithms are available.
28 config MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_PID
29 bool "PID controller based rate control algorithm"
30 select MAC80211_RC_PID
32 Select the PID controller based rate control as the
33 default rate control algorithm. You should choose
34 this unless you know what you are doing.
36 config MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_SIMPLE
37 bool "Simple rate control algorithm"
38 select MAC80211_RC_SIMPLE
40 Select the simple rate control as the default rate
41 control algorithm. Note that this is a non-responsive,
42 dumb algorithm. You should choose the PID rate control
45 config MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_NONE
46 bool "No default algorithm"
49 Selecting this option will select no default algorithm
50 and allow you to not build any. Do not choose this
51 option unless you know your driver comes with another
55 comment "Selecting 'y' for an algorithm will"
56 comment "build the algorithm into mac80211."
58 config MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT
60 default "pid" if MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_PID
61 default "simple" if MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_SIMPLE
64 config MAC80211_RC_PID
65 tristate "PID controller based rate control algorithm"
67 This option enables a TX rate control algorithm for
68 mac80211 that uses a PID controller to select the TX
71 Say Y or M unless you're sure you want to use a
72 different rate control algorithm.
74 config MAC80211_RC_SIMPLE
75 tristate "Simple rate control algorithm (DEPRECATED)"
77 This option enables a very simple, non-responsive TX
78 rate control algorithm. This algorithm is deprecated
79 and will be removed from the kernel in the near future.
80 It has been replaced by the PID algorithm.
82 Say N unless you know what you are doing.
86 bool "Enable LED triggers"
87 depends on MAC80211 && LEDS_TRIGGERS
89 This option enables a few LED triggers for different
90 packet receive/transmit events.
92 config MAC80211_DEBUGFS
93 bool "Export mac80211 internals in DebugFS"
94 depends on MAC80211 && DEBUG_FS
96 Select this to see extensive information about
97 the internal state of mac80211 in debugfs.
99 Say N unless you know you need this.
101 config MAC80211_DEBUG_PACKET_ALIGNMENT
102 bool "Enable packet alignment debugging"
105 This option is recommended for driver authors and strongly
106 discouraged for everybody else, it will trigger a warning
107 when a driver hands mac80211 a buffer that is aligned in
108 a way that will cause problems with the IP stack on some
111 Say N unless you're writing a mac80211 based driver.
113 config MAC80211_DEBUG
114 bool "Enable debugging output"
117 This option will enable debug tracing output for the
118 ieee80211 network stack.
120 If you are not trying to debug or develop the ieee80211
121 subsystem, you most likely want to say N here.
123 config MAC80211_HT_DEBUG
124 bool "Enable HT debugging output"
125 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG
127 This option enables 802.11n High Throughput features
128 debug tracing output.
130 If you are not trying to debug of develop the ieee80211
131 subsystem, you most likely want to say N here.
133 config MAC80211_VERBOSE_DEBUG
134 bool "Verbose debugging output"
135 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG
137 config MAC80211_LOWTX_FRAME_DUMP
138 bool "Debug frame dumping"
139 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG
141 Selecting this option will cause the stack to
142 print a message for each frame that is handed
143 to the lowlevel driver for transmission. This
144 message includes all MAC addresses and the
147 If unsure, say N and insert the debugging code
148 you require into the driver you are debugging.

165 bool "Verbose powersave mode debugging"
166 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG
168 Say Y here to print out verbose powersave
