6 depends on CFG80211_WEXT || WIRELESS_EXT
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 CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB
98 bool "use statically compiled regulatory rules database" if EMBEDDED
102 This option generates an internal data structure representing
103 the wireless regulatory rules described in net/wireless/db.txt
104 and includes code to query that database. This is an alternative
105 to using CRDA for defining regulatory rules for the kernel.
109 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory
111 Most distributions have a CRDA package. So if unsure, say N.
114 bool "cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility"
119 Enable this option if you need old userspace for wireless
120 extensions with cfg80211-based drivers.
122 config WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS
123 bool "Wireless extensions sysfs files"
125 depends on WEXT_CORE && SYSFS
127 This option enables the deprecated wireless statistics
128 files in /sys/class/net/*/wireless/. The same information
129 is available via the ioctls as well.
131 Say Y if you have programs using it, like old versions of
135 tristate "Common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers"
138 This options enables a library of common routines used
139 by IEEE802.11 wireless LAN drivers.
141 Drivers should select this themselves if needed. Say Y if
142 you want this built into your kernel.
144 config LIB80211_CRYPT_WEP
147 config LIB80211_CRYPT_CCMP
150 config LIB80211_CRYPT_TKIP
153 config LIB80211_DEBUG
154 bool "lib80211 debugging messages"
158 You can enable this if you want verbose debugging messages
