20 tristate "cfg80211 - wireless configuration API"
21 depends on RFKILL || !RFKILL
23 cfg80211 is the Linux wireless LAN (802.11) configuration API.
24 Enable this if you have a wireless device.
26 For more information refer to documentation on the wireless wiki:
28 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/cfg80211
30 When built as a module it will be called cfg80211.
32 config NL80211_TESTMODE
33 bool "nl80211 testmode command"
36 The nl80211 testmode command helps implementing things like
37 factory calibration or validation tools for wireless chips.
39 Select this option ONLY for kernels that are specifically
40 built for such purposes.
42 Debugging tools that are supposed to end up in the hands of
43 users should better be implemented with debugfs.
47 config CFG80211_DEVELOPER_WARNINGS
48 bool "enable developer warnings"
52 This option enables some additional warnings that help
53 cfg80211 developers and driver developers, but that can
54 trigger due to races with userspace.
56 For example, when a driver reports that it was disconnected
57 from the AP, but the user disconnects manually at the same
58 time, the warning might trigger spuriously due to races.
60 Say Y only if you are developing cfg80211 or a driver based
64 config CFG80211_REG_DEBUG
65 bool "cfg80211 regulatory debugging"
69 You can enable this if you want to debug regulatory changes.
70 For more information on cfg80211 regulatory refer to the wireless
73 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory
77 config CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS
78 bool "enable powersave by default"
82 This option enables powersave mode by default.
84 If this causes your applications to misbehave you should fix your
85 applications instead -- they need to register their network
86 latency requirement, see Documentation/power/pm_qos_interface.txt.
88 config CFG80211_DEBUGFS
89 bool "cfg80211 DebugFS entries"
93 You can enable this if you want to debugfs entries for cfg80211.
97 config WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY
98 bool "Old wireless static regulatory definitions"
102 This option enables the old static regulatory information
103 and uses it within the new framework. This option is available
104 for historical reasons and it is advised to leave it off.
108 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory
110 Say N and if you say Y, please tell us why. The default is N.
112 config CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB
113 bool "use statically compiled regulatory rules database" if EMBEDDED
117 This option generates an internal data structure representing
118 the wireless regulatory rules described in net/wireless/db.txt
119 and includes code to query that database. This is an alternative
120 to using CRDA for defining regulatory rules for the kernel.
124 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory
126 Most distributions have a CRDA package. So if unsure, say N.
129 bool "cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility"
134 Enable this option if you need old userspace for wireless
135 extensions with cfg80211-based drivers.
137 config WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS
138 bool "Wireless extensions sysfs files"
140 depends on WEXT_CORE && SYSFS
142 This option enables the deprecated wireless statistics
143 files in /sys/class/net/*/wireless/. The same information
144 is available via the ioctls as well.
146 Say Y if you have programs using it, like old versions of
150 tristate "Common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers"
153 This options enables a library of common routines used
154 by IEEE802.11 wireless LAN drivers.
156 Drivers should select this themselves if needed. Say Y if
157 you want this built into your kernel.
159 config LIB80211_CRYPT_WEP
162 config LIB80211_CRYPT_CCMP
165 config LIB80211_CRYPT_TKIP
168 config LIB80211_DEBUG
169 bool "lib80211 debugging messages"
173 You can enable this if you want verbose debugging messages
