   6         depends on CFG80211
   7         default n
   8         ---help---
   9           You can enable this if you want to debug regulatory changes.
  10
  11           If unsure, say N.

  13 config NL80211
  14         bool "nl80211 new netlink interface support"
  15         depends on CFG80211
  16         default y
  17         ---help---
  18           This option turns on the new netlink interface
  19           (nl80211) support in cfg80211.
  20
  21           If =n, drivers using mac80211 will be configured via
  22           wireless extension support provided by that subsystem.
  23
  24           If unsure, say Y.
  25
  26 config WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY
  27         bool "Old wireless static regulatory definitions"
  28         default y
  29         ---help---
  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).
  37
  38           For more information see:

  40           http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
  41           http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
  42
  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.
  51
  52           Note: You will need CRDA if you want 802.11d support
  53
  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
  57           interfaces.

  59 config WIRELESS_EXT
  60         bool "Wireless extensions"
  61         default n
  62         ---help---
  63           This option enables the legacy wireless extensions
  64           (wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.)
  65
  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
  70           code in cfg80211.
  71
  72           Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless
  73           extensions for external modules.
  74
  75 config WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS
  76         bool "Wireless extensions sysfs files"
  77         default y
  78         depends on WIRELESS_EXT && SYSFS
  79         help
  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.
  83
  84           Say Y if you have programs using it, like old versions of
  85           hal.
  86
  87 config LIB80211
  88         tristate "Common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers"
  89         default n
  90         help
  91           This options enables a library of common routines used
  92           by IEEE802.11 wireless LAN drivers.
  93
  94           Drivers should select this themselves if needed.  Say Y if
  95           you want this built into your kernel.

 111           You can enable this if you want verbose debugging messages
 112           from lib80211.
 113
 114           If unsure, say N.
