38 depends on MAC80211_HAS_RC
39 default MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_MINSTREL
41 This option selects the default rate control algorithm
42 mac80211 will use. Note that this default can still be
43 overridden through the ieee80211_default_rc_algo module
44 parameter if different algorithms are available.
46 config MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_PID
47 bool "PID controller based rate control algorithm"
48 depends on MAC80211_RC_PID
50 Select the PID controller based rate control as the

52 this unless you know what you are doing.
54 config MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_MINSTREL

75 bool "Enable mac80211 mesh networking (pre-802.11s) support"
76 depends on MAC80211 && EXPERIMENTAL
78 This options enables support of Draft 802.11s mesh networking.
79 The implementation is based on Draft 2.08 of the Mesh Networking
80 amendment. However, no compliance with that draft is claimed or even
81 possible, as drafts leave a number of identifiers to be defined after
82 ratification. For more information visit http://o11s.org/.
85 bool "Enable LED triggers"
90 This option enables a few LED triggers for different
91 packet receive/transmit events.
93 config MAC80211_DEBUGFS
94 bool "Export mac80211 internals in DebugFS"
95 depends on MAC80211 && DEBUG_FS

100 Say N unless you know you need this.
102 menuconfig MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
103 bool "Select mac80211 debugging features"
106 This option collects various mac80211 debug settings.
108 config MAC80211_DEBUG_PACKET_ALIGNMENT
109 bool "Enable packet alignment debugging"
110 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
112 This option is recommended for driver authors and strongly
113 discouraged for everybody else, it will trigger a warning
114 when a driver hands mac80211 a buffer that is aligned in
115 a way that will cause problems with the IP stack on some
118 Say N unless you're writing a mac80211 based driver.
120 config MAC80211_NOINLINE
121 bool "Do not inline TX/RX handlers"
122 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
124 This option affects code generation in mac80211, when
125 selected some functions are marked "noinline" to allow
126 easier debugging of problems in the transmit and receive
129 This option increases code size a bit and inserts a lot
130 of function calls in the code, but is otherwise safe to
133 If unsure, say N unless you expect to be finding problems
136 config MAC80211_VERBOSE_DEBUG
137 bool "Verbose debugging output"
138 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
140 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out
141 many debugging messages. It should not be selected
142 on production systems as some of the messages are
143 remotely triggerable.
145 Do not select this option.
147 config MAC80211_HT_DEBUG
148 bool "Verbose HT debugging"
149 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
151 This option enables 802.11n High Throughput features

160 bool "Verbose TKIP debugging"
161 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
163 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out
164 very verbose TKIP debugging messages. It should not
165 be selected on production systems as those messages
166 are remotely triggerable.
168 Do not select this option.
170 config MAC80211_IBSS_DEBUG
171 bool "Verbose IBSS debugging"
172 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
174 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out
175 very verbose IBSS debugging messages. It should not
176 be selected on production systems as those messages
177 are remotely triggerable.
179 Do not select this option.
181 config MAC80211_VERBOSE_PS_DEBUG
182 bool "Verbose powersave mode debugging"
