   1 config CFG80211
   2         tristate "Improved wireless configuration API"

   4 config NL80211
   5         bool "nl80211 new netlink interface support"
   6         depends on CFG80211
   7         default y
   8         ---help---
   9           This option turns on the new netlink interface
  10           (nl80211) support in cfg80211.
  11
  12           If =n, drivers using mac80211 will be configured via
  13           wireless extension support provided by that subsystem.
  14
  15           If unsure, say Y.
  16
  17 config WIRELESS_EXT
  18         bool "Wireless extensions"
  19         default n
  20         ---help---
  21           This option enables the legacy wireless extensions
  22           (wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.)
  23
  24           Wireless extensions will be replaced by cfg80211 and
  25           will be required only by legacy drivers that implement
  26           wireless extension handlers. This option does not
  27           affect the wireless-extension backward compatibility
  28           code in cfg80211.
  29
  30           Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless
  31           extensions for external modules.
  32
  33 config WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS
  34         bool "Wireless extensions sysfs files"
  35         default y
  36         depends on WIRELESS_EXT && SYSFS
  37         help
  38           This option enables the deprecated wireless statistics
  39           files in /sys/class/net/*/wireless/. The same information
  40           is available via the ioctls as well.
  41
  42           Say Y if you have programs using it (we don't know of any).
