---help---
|
|
This option turns on the new netlink interface
|
|
(nl80211) support in cfg80211.
|
|
|
|
If =n, drivers using mac80211 will be configured via
|
|
wireless extension support provided by that subsystem.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say Y.
|

config WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY
|
|
bool "Old wireless static regulatory definitions"
|
|
default y
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option enables the old static regulatory information
|
|
and uses it within the new framework. This is available
|
|
temporarily as an option to help prevent immediate issues
|
|
due to the switch to the new regulatory framework which
|
|
does require a new userspace application which has the
|
|
database of regulatory information (CRDA) and another for
|
|
setting regulatory domains (iw).
|
|
|
|
For more information see:
|
|
|
|
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
|
|
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
|
|
|
|
It is important to note though that if you *do* have CRDA present
|
|
and if this option is enabled CRDA *will* be called to update the
|
|
regulatory domain (for US and JP only). Support for letting the user
|
|
set the regulatory domain through iw is also supported. This option
|
|
mainly exists to leave around for a kernel release some old static
|
|
regulatory domains that were defined and to keep around the old
|
|
ieee80211_regdom module parameter. This is being phased out and you
|
|
should stop using them ASAP.
|
|
|
|
Say Y unless you have installed a new userspace application.
|
|
Also say Y if have one currently depending on the ieee80211_regdom
|
|
module parameter and cannot port it to use the new userspace
|
|
interfaces.

config WIRELESS_EXT

default n
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option enables the legacy wireless extensions
|
|
(wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.)
|
|
|
|
Wireless extensions will be replaced by cfg80211 and
|
|
will be required only by legacy drivers that implement
|
|
wireless extension handlers. This option does not
|
|
affect the wireless-extension backward compatibility
|
|
code in cfg80211.
|
|
|
|
Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless
|
|
extensions for external modules.

|
|
help
|
|
This option enables the deprecated wireless statistics
|
|
files in /sys/class/net/*/wireless/. The same information
|
|
is available via the ioctls as well.
|
|
|
|
Say Y if you have programs using it, like old versions of
|
|
hal.

help
|
|
This options enables a library of common routines used

|
by IEEE802.11 wireless LAN drivers.
|
|
|
|
Drivers should select this themselves if needed. Say Y if
|
|
you want this built into your kernel.
