21 ---help---
22 This option selects the default rate control algorithm
23 mac80211 will use. Note that this default can still be
24 overriden through the ieee80211_default_rc_algo module
25 parameter if different algorithms are available.

28 bool "PID controller based rate control algorithm"

30 ---help---
31 Select the PID controller based rate control as the
32 default rate control algorithm. You should choose
33 this unless you know what you are doing.

35 config MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_SIMPLE
36 bool "Simple rate control algorithm"
37 select MAC80211_RC_SIMPLE
38 ---help---
39 Select the simple rate control as the default rate
40 control algorithm. Note that this is a non-responsive,
41 dumb algorithm. You should choose the PID rate control
42 instead.
43
44 config MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_NONE
45 bool "No default algorithm"
46 depends on EMBEDDED
47 help
48 Selecting this option will select no default algorithm
49 and allow you to not build any. Do not choose this
50 option unless you know your driver comes with another
51 suitable algorithm.

64 tristate "PID controller based rate control algorithm"
65 ---help---
66 This option enables a TX rate control algorithm for
67 mac80211 that uses a PID controller to select the TX
68 rate.
69
70 Say Y or M unless you're sure you want to use a
71 different rate control algorithm.

73 config MAC80211_RC_SIMPLE
74 tristate "Simple rate control algorithm (DEPRECATED)"
75 ---help---
76 This option enables a very simple, non-responsive TX
77 rate control algorithm. This algorithm is deprecated
78 and will be removed from the kernel in the near future.
79 It has been replaced by the PID algorithm.
80
81 Say N unless you know what you are doing.

88 This options enables support of Draft 802.11s mesh networking.
89 The implementation is based on Draft 1.08 of the Mesh Networking
90 amendment. For more information visit http://o11s.org/.

111 depends on MAC80211
112 help
113 This option is recommended for driver authors and strongly
114 discouraged for everybody else, it will trigger a warning
115 when a driver hands mac80211 a buffer that is aligned in
116 a way that will cause problems with the IP stack on some
117 architectures.
118
119 Say N unless you're writing a mac80211 based driver.

123 depends on MAC80211
124 ---help---
125 This option will enable debug tracing output for the
126 ieee80211 network stack.
127
128 If you are not trying to debug or develop the ieee80211
129 subsystem, you most likely want to say N here.

149 Selecting this option will cause the stack to
150 print a message for each frame that is handed
151 to the lowlevel driver for transmission. This
152 message includes all MAC addresses and the
153 frame control field.
154
155 If unsure, say N and insert the debugging code
156 you require into the driver you are debugging.
