- config CFG80211
- tristate "Improved wireless configuration API"
- config NL80211
- bool "nl80211 new netlink interface support"
- depends on CFG80211
- default y
- ---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
- bool "Wireless extensions"
- 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.
- config WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS
- bool "Wireless extensions sysfs files"
- default y
- depends on WIRELESS_EXT && SYSFS
- 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.
