This code has been on the list to remove for a long time, so disable it by default, add a warning to its Kconfig, and schedule it for removal in 3.5. The only known dependency, hal, has not required it since its 0.5.12 release, which was in early 2009 and hal has since been deprecated completely.

cfg80211 is the Linux wireless LAN (802.11) configuration API.
|
|
Enable this if you have a wireless device.
|
|
|
|
For more information refer to documentation on the wireless wiki:
|
|
|
|
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/cfg80211
|
|
|
|
When built as a module it will be called cfg80211.

|
|
help
|
|
The nl80211 testmode command helps implementing things like
|
|
factory calibration or validation tools for wireless chips.
|
|
|
|
Select this option ONLY for kernels that are specifically
|
|
built for such purposes.
|
|
|
|
Debugging tools that are supposed to end up in the hands of
|
|
users should better be implemented with debugfs.
|
|
|
|
Say N.

config CFG80211_DEVELOPER_WARNINGS

bool "enable developer warnings"

depends on CFG80211
|
|
default n
|
|
help
|
|
This option enables some additional warnings that help
|
|
cfg80211 developers and driver developers, but that can
|
|
trigger due to races with userspace.
|
|
|
|
For example, when a driver reports that it was disconnected
|
|
from the AP, but the user disconnects manually at the same
|
|
time, the warning might trigger spuriously due to races.
|
|
|
|
Say Y only if you are developing cfg80211 or a driver based
|
|
on it (or mac80211).
|

|

You can enable this if you want to debug regulatory changes.
|
|
For more information on cfg80211 regulatory refer to the wireless
|
|
wiki:
|

|
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory
|
|
|

If unsure, say N.

|
|
help
|
|
This option enables powersave mode by default.
|
|
|
|
If this causes your applications to misbehave you should fix your
|
|
applications instead -- they need to register their network
|
|
latency requirement, see Documentation/power/pm_qos_interface.txt.

|
|
---help---
|
|
This option generates an internal data structure representing
|
|
the wireless regulatory rules described in net/wireless/db.txt
|
|
and includes code to query that database. This is an alternative
|
|
to using CRDA for defining regulatory rules for the kernel.
|
|
|
|
For details see:
|
|
|
|
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory
|
|
|
|
Most distributions have a CRDA package. So if unsure, say N.

This option enables the deprecated wireless statistics
|
|
files in /sys/class/net/*/wireless/. The same information
|
|
is available via the ioctls as well.
|
|
|
|
Say N. If you know you have ancient tools requiring it,
|
|
like very old versions of hal (prior to 0.5.12 release),
|
|
say Y and update the tools as soon as possible as this
|

option will be removed soon.
