45 prompt "Default rate control algorithm"
46 depends on MAC80211_HAS_RC
47 default MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_MINSTREL
49 This option selects the default rate control algorithm
50 mac80211 will use. Note that this default can still be
51 overridden through the ieee80211_default_rc_algo module
52 parameter if different algorithms are available.
54 config MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_PID
55 bool "PID controller based rate control algorithm"
56 depends on MAC80211_RC_PID
58 Select the PID controller based rate control as the
59 default rate control algorithm. You should choose
60 this unless you know what you are doing.

66 Select Minstrel as the default rate control algorithm.

84 bool "Enable mac80211 mesh networking (pre-802.11s) support"
85 depends on MAC80211 && EXPERIMENTAL
87 This options enables support of Draft 802.11s mesh networking.
88 The implementation is based on Draft 2.08 of the Mesh Networking
89 amendment. However, no compliance with that draft is claimed or even
90 possible, as drafts leave a number of identifiers to be defined after
91 ratification. For more information visit http://o11s.org/.
94 bool "Enable LED triggers"
99 This option enables a few LED triggers for different
100 packet receive/transmit events.
102 config MAC80211_DEBUGFS
103 bool "Export mac80211 internals in DebugFS"
104 depends on MAC80211 && DEBUG_FS
106 Select this to see extensive information about
107 the internal state of mac80211 in debugfs.
109 Say N unless you know you need this.

115 This option collects various mac80211 debug settings.
117 config MAC80211_NOINLINE
118 bool "Do not inline TX/RX handlers"
119 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
121 This option affects code generation in mac80211, when
122 selected some functions are marked "noinline" to allow
123 easier debugging of problems in the transmit and receive
126 This option increases code size a bit and inserts a lot
127 of function calls in the code, but is otherwise safe to
130 If unsure, say N unless you expect to be finding problems
133 config MAC80211_VERBOSE_DEBUG
134 bool "Verbose debugging output"
135 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
137 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out
138 many debugging messages. It should not be selected
139 on production systems as some of the messages are
140 remotely triggerable.
142 Do not select this option.
144 config MAC80211_HT_DEBUG
145 bool "Verbose HT debugging"
146 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
148 This option enables 802.11n High Throughput features
149 debug tracing output.

152 of the messages are remotely triggerable.
154 Do not select this option.
156 config MAC80211_TKIP_DEBUG
157 bool "Verbose TKIP debugging"
158 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
160 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out
161 very verbose TKIP debugging messages. It should not
162 be selected on production systems as those messages
163 are remotely triggerable.
165 Do not select this option.
167 config MAC80211_IBSS_DEBUG
168 bool "Verbose IBSS debugging"
169 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
171 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out
172 very verbose IBSS debugging messages. It should not
173 be selected on production systems as those messages
174 are remotely triggerable.
176 Do not select this option.
178 config MAC80211_VERBOSE_PS_DEBUG
179 bool "Verbose powersave mode debugging"
180 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
182 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very
183 verbose power save mode debugging messages (when mac80211
184 is an AP and has power saving stations.)
185 It should not be selected on production systems as those
186 messages are remotely triggerable.
188 Do not select this option.

195 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very
196 verbose mesh peer link debugging messages (when mac80211
197 is taking part in a mesh network).
198 It should not be selected on production systems as those
199 messages are remotely triggerable.

204 bool "Verbose mesh HWMP routing debugging"
205 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
206 depends on MAC80211_MESH
208 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very
209 verbose mesh routing (HWMP) debugging messages (when mac80211
210 is taking part in a mesh network).
211 It should not be selected on production systems as those
212 messages are remotely triggerable.
214 Do not select this option.
216 config MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS
217 bool "Extra statistics for TX/RX debugging"
218 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
219 depends on MAC80211_DEBUGFS
221 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to keep additional
222 and very verbose statistics about TX and RX handler use
223 and show them in debugfs.
227 config MAC80211_DRIVER_API_TRACER
228 bool "Driver API tracer"
229 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
230 depends on EVENT_TRACING
232 Say Y here to make mac80211 register with the ftrace
233 framework for the driver API -- you can then see which
234 driver methods it is calling and which API functions
235 drivers are calling by looking at the trace.
