23 select MAC80211_HAS_RC
25 This option enables a TX rate control algorithm for
26 mac80211 that uses a PID controller to select the TX

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

65 Select Minstrel as the default rate control algorithm.

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

114 This option collects various mac80211 debug settings.
116 config MAC80211_NOINLINE
117 bool "Do not inline TX/RX handlers"
118 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
120 This option affects code generation in mac80211, when
121 selected some functions are marked "noinline" to allow
122 easier debugging of problems in the transmit and receive
125 This option increases code size a bit and inserts a lot
126 of function calls in the code, but is otherwise safe to
129 If unsure, say N unless you expect to be finding problems
132 config MAC80211_VERBOSE_DEBUG
133 bool "Verbose debugging output"
134 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
136 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out
137 many debugging messages. It should not be selected
138 on production systems as some of the messages are
139 remotely triggerable.
141 Do not select this option.
143 config MAC80211_HT_DEBUG
144 bool "Verbose HT debugging"
145 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
147 This option enables 802.11n High Throughput features
148 debug tracing output.
150 It should not be selected on production systems as some
151 of the messages are remotely triggerable.
153 Do not select this option.
155 config MAC80211_TKIP_DEBUG
156 bool "Verbose TKIP debugging"
157 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
159 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out
160 very verbose TKIP debugging messages. It should not
161 be selected on production systems as those messages
162 are remotely triggerable.
164 Do not select this option.
166 config MAC80211_IBSS_DEBUG
167 bool "Verbose IBSS debugging"
168 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
170 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out
171 very verbose IBSS debugging messages. It should not
172 be selected on production systems as those messages
173 are remotely triggerable.
175 Do not select this option.
177 config MAC80211_VERBOSE_PS_DEBUG
178 bool "Verbose powersave mode debugging"
179 depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
181 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very
182 verbose power save mode debugging messages (when mac80211
183 is an AP and has power saving stations.)
184 It should not be selected on production systems as those
185 messages are remotely triggerable.
187 Do not select this option.

194 Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out very
195 verbose mesh peer link debugging messages (when mac80211
196 is taking part in a mesh network).

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