The old WDS 4-addr frame support is very limited, e.g. * no encryption is possible on such links * it cannot support rate/HT/VHT negotiation * management APIs are very restricted These make the WDS legacy mode useless in practice. All of these are resolved by the 4-addr AP/client support, so there's also no reason to improve WDS in the future. Therefore, add a Kconfig option to disable legacy WDS. This gives people an "emergency valve" while they migrate to the better-supported 4-addr AP/client option; we plan to remove it (and the associated cfg80211/mac80211 code, which is the ultimate goal) in the future.

This option enables the deprecated WDS support, the newer
|
|
mac80211-based 4-addr AP/client support supersedes it with
|
|
a much better feature set (HT, VHT, ...)
|
|
|
|
We plan to remove this option and code, so if you find
|
|
that you have to enable it, please let us know on the
|
|
linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org mailing list, so we can
|
|
help you migrate to 4-addr AP/client (or, if it's really
|
|
necessary, give up on our plan of removing it).

These are USB based adapters found in devices such as:
|
|
|
|
Buffalo WLI-U2-KG125S
|
|
U.S. Robotics USR5421
|
|
Belkin F5D7051

|
Linksys WUSB54GSv1
|
|
U.S. Robotics USR5420
|
|
BUFFALO WLI-USB-G54
|
|
|
|
All of these devices are based on Broadcom 4320 chip which is the
|
|
only wireless RNDIS chip known to date.
|
|
|
|
If you choose to build a module, it'll be called rndis_wlan.
