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_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
78 bool "cfg80211 certification onus"
79 depends on CFG80211 && EXPERT
82 You should disable this option unless you are both capable
83 and willing to ensure your system will remain regulatory
84 compliant with the features available under this option.
85 Some options may still be under heavy development and
86 for whatever reason regulatory compliance has not or
87 cannot yet be verified. Regulatory verification may at
88 times only be possible until you have the final system
91 This option should only be enabled by system integrators
92 or distributions that have done work necessary to ensure
93 regulatory certification on the system with the enabled
94 features. Alternatively you can enable this option if
95 you are a wireless researcher and are working in a controlled
96 and approved environment by your local regulatory agency.
98 config CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS
99 bool "enable powersave by default"
103 This option enables powersave mode by default.
105 If this causes your applications to misbehave you should fix your
106 applications instead -- they need to register their network
107 latency requirement, see Documentation/power/pm_qos_interface.txt.
109 config CFG80211_DEBUGFS
110 bool "cfg80211 DebugFS entries"
114 You can enable this if you want to debugfs entries for cfg80211.
118 config CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB
119 bool "use statically compiled regulatory rules database" if EXPERT
123 This option generates an internal data structure representing
124 the wireless regulatory rules described in net/wireless/db.txt
125 and includes code to query that database. This is an alternative
126 to using CRDA for defining regulatory rules for the kernel.
130 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory
132 Most distributions have a CRDA package. So if unsure, say N.
135 bool "cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility"
139 Enable this option if you need old userspace for wireless
140 extensions with cfg80211-based drivers.
146 This options enables a library of common routines used
147 by IEEE802.11 wireless LAN drivers.
149 Drivers should select this themselves if needed.

160 config LIB80211_DEBUG
161 bool "lib80211 debugging messages"
165 You can enable this if you want verbose debugging messages
