2 tristate "Improved wireless configuration API"
5 bool "nl80211 new netlink interface support"
9 This option turns on the new netlink interface
10 (nl80211) support in cfg80211.
12 If =n, drivers using mac80211 will be configured via
13 wireless extension support provided by that subsystem.
18 bool "Wireless extensions"
21 This option enables the legacy wireless extensions
22 (wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.)
24 Wireless extensions will be replaced by cfg80211 and
25 will be required only by legacy drivers that implement
26 wireless extension handlers. This option does not
27 affect the wireless-extension backward compatibility
30 Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless
31 extensions for external modules.
33 config WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS
34 bool "Wireless extensions sysfs files"
36 depends on WIRELESS_EXT && SYSFS
38 This option enables the deprecated wireless statistics
39 files in /sys/class/net/*/wireless/. The same information
40 is available via the ioctls as well.
42 Say Y if you have programs using it (we don't know of any).
