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.
14 bool "nl80211 new netlink interface support"
18 This option turns on the new netlink interface
19 (nl80211) support in cfg80211.
21 If =n, drivers using mac80211 will be configured via
22 wireless extension support provided by that subsystem.
26 config WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY
27 bool "Old wireless static regulatory definitions"
30 This option enables the old static regulatory information
31 and uses it within the new framework. This is available
32 temporarily as an option to help prevent immediate issues
33 due to the switch to the new regulatory framework which
34 does require a new userspace application which has the
35 database of regulatory information (CRDA) and another for
36 setting regulatory domains (iw).
38 For more information see:
40 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
41 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
43 It is important to note though that if you *do* have CRDA present
44 and if this option is enabled CRDA *will* be called to update the
45 regulatory domain (for US and JP only). Support for letting the user
46 set the regulatory domain through iw is also supported. This option
47 mainly exists to leave around for a kernel release some old static
48 regulatory domains that were defined and to keep around the old
49 ieee80211_regdom module parameter. This is being phased out and you
50 should stop using them ASAP.
52 Note: You will need CRDA if you want 802.11d support
54 Say Y unless you have installed a new userspace application.
55 Also say Y if have one currently depending on the ieee80211_regdom
56 module parameter and cannot port it to use the new userspace
60 bool "Wireless extensions"
63 This option enables the legacy wireless extensions
64 (wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.)
66 Wireless extensions will be replaced by cfg80211 and
67 will be required only by legacy drivers that implement
68 wireless extension handlers. This option does not
69 affect the wireless-extension backward compatibility
72 Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless
73 extensions for external modules.
75 config WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS
76 bool "Wireless extensions sysfs files"
78 depends on WIRELESS_EXT && SYSFS
80 This option enables the deprecated wireless statistics
81 files in /sys/class/net/*/wireless/. The same information
82 is available via the ioctls as well.
84 Say Y if you have programs using it, like old versions of
88 tristate "Common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers"
91 This options enables a library of common routines used
92 by IEEE802.11 wireless LAN drivers.
94 Drivers should select this themselves if needed. Say Y if
95 you want this built into your kernel.
97 config LIB80211_CRYPT_WEP
100 config LIB80211_CRYPT_CCMP
103 config LIB80211_CRYPT_TKIP
106 config LIB80211_DEBUG
107 bool "lib80211 debugging messages"
111 You can enable this if you want verbose debugging messages
